Relating to authorizing the Department of Agriculture to promulgate a legislative rule relating to the inspection of meat and poultry

HB 2284 authorizes the West Virginia Department of Agriculture to implement a specific rule (61 CSR 16) governing meat and poultry inspection standards. This rule, previously filed in the State Register on June 25, 2024, will now be formally adopted. The bill directly affects meat and poultry producers and processors in West Virginia, requiring them to comply with these inspection standards. It provides legal authority for the rule without changing its content or creating new requirements.
