Department of Agriculture rule relating to licensing and other fees

Senate Bill 365 authorizes the West Virginia Department of Agriculture to implement a specific rule (61 CSR 18) governing licensing and fee structures for agricultural businesses and individuals. This rule, proposed in July 2024 and filed in the State Register, directly affects entities required to pay licensing fees to the Department. The bill does not alter fee amounts but formally approves the existing rule framework, allowing the Department to proceed with its implementation. This procedural step ensures the rule meets statutory requirements for enforcement.
