Board of Medicine rule relating to waiver of initial licensing fees for certain applicants

SB 385 authorizes West Virginia's Board of Medicine to formally implement a rule waiving initial licensing fees for certain new healthcare professionals. This procedural bill specifically approves an existing rule (filed April 1, 2024, as 11 CSR 13) that allows the Board to grant fee waivers to eligible applicants, such as recent graduates or those meeting specific criteria. The rule directly affects new license seekers in medical fields who qualify under the Board's established criteria. The bill does not create new eligibility standards but legally validates the Board's authority to administer this fee waiver process.
