Relating to authorizing the Department of Agriculture to promulgate a legislative rule relating to West Virginia fish processing
HB 2288 authorizes West Virginia's Department of Agriculture to establish and enforce specific regulations for the state's fish processing industry. The bill specifically approves a legislative rule (61 CSR 23A) that was previously modified to address legislative committee feedback, covering standards for fish processing operations. This rule directly affects fish processing businesses operating in West Virginia by setting compliance requirements for their facilities and practices. The legislation does not create new policy but formally authorizes the existing rulemaking process for this industry.
