Relating to authorizing the Division of Natural Resources to promulgate a legislative rule relating to special boating
HB 2334 authorizes West Virginia's Division of Natural Resources to create and enforce specific rules for "special boating" under existing regulatory code 58 CSR 26. The bill formally approves a rule already filed with the State Register on August 14, 2024, which governs boating regulations. This rulemaking authority directly affects boaters, marinas, and recreational watercraft operators who must comply with these standardized safety and operational requirements. The legislation provides a legal basis for the Division to implement these rules without requiring additional legislative action for each specific regulation.
