Relating to authorizing the Board of Optometry to promulgate a legislative rule relating to the Board of Optometry.

HB 4299 authorizes the West Virginia Board of Optometry to adopt a specific regulatory rule (14 CSR 01) that was previously filed and modified following review by the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee. This bill directly affects optometrists and optometry practices in West Virginia by allowing the Board to implement the approved rule without further legislative action. The key mechanism is the formal authorization of an existing regulatory rule that already underwent the required procedural steps, including committee review and refiling. The bill does not change the content of the rule but ensures its official adoption under state regulations.
