Relating to authorizing the Department of Health to promulgate a legislative rule relating to distribution of state funds for support of local boards of health.
HB 4220 authorizes the West Virginia Department of Health to use an existing regulatory rule (64 CSR 67) for distributing state funds to local health boards. The bill formally approves a rule previously filed with the State Register on July 24, 2025, which outlines how state funds should support local health boards. This is a procedural bill that does not change funding amounts or eligibility but confirms the legal authority for the Department of Health to implement the current distribution process. It directly affects local health boards receiving state funds and the Department of Health in its administrative role. The bill has no new policy provisions - only legislative confirmation of an existing rule.
