Relating to authorizing the Department of Agriculture to promulgate a legislative rule relating to raw milk

HB 2291 authorizes West Virginia's Department of Agriculture to implement an existing regulatory rule (61 CSR 41) concerning raw milk. The bill specifically approves a rule previously filed and modified after committee review, which governs the handling and sale of unpasteurized milk. This rule directly affects raw milk producers, sellers, and consumers by establishing specific safety and labeling requirements. The legislation serves a procedural purpose, confirming the Department's authority to enforce this rule without creating new restrictions or exemptions. It does not change current raw milk sales laws but formalizes the administrative process for the rule's implementation.
