Relating to authorizing the Department of Environmental Protection to promulgate a legislative rule relating to emission standards for hazardous air pollutants

This bill authorizes West Virginia's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to establish specific emission standards for hazardous air pollutants. It directly affects industrial facilities that release these pollutants into the air, such as manufacturing plants and chemical producers. The authorization applies to a proposed rule (45 CSR 34) the DEP already filed in July 2025, allowing the department to finalize it through standard regulatory procedures. The bill does not set the actual standards but enables the DEP to proceed with rulemaking under existing law.
