HB 4212 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Relating to authorizing the Division of Water and Waste Management to promulgate a legislative rule relating to hazardous waste management system.

HB 4212 authorizes West Virginia's Division of Water and Waste Management to create and implement a specific regulatory rule (33 CSR 20) governing hazardous waste management systems. This procedural bill directly affects the Division, which will develop the rule, and hazardous waste handlers statewide who must comply with the resulting regulations. The bill does not create new policy but formally approves a rule already proposed in the State Register (filed July 23, 2025), streamlining its adoption. It focuses on administrative authorization rather than substantive changes to waste management practices.
