Relating to authorizing the Governor’s Committee on Crime, Delinquency, and Correction to promulgate a legislative rule relating to sexual assault forensic examinations

HB 2256 authorizes West Virginia's Governor's Committee on Crime, Delinquency, and Correction to finalize and implement a specific legislative rule (149 CSR 11) regarding sexual assault forensic examinations. This rule, initially filed in September 2024 and revised after committee feedback, sets standards for medical exams conducted after sexual assault incidents. The bill directly affects healthcare providers, law enforcement, and forensic labs that perform these exams by establishing formal guidelines they must follow. It does not create new policies but legally approves an existing rule that has been adjusted to address legislative concerns.
