Relating to authorizing the Board of Pharmacy to promulgate a legislative rule relating to pharmacy permits.
HB 4312 authorizes West Virginia's Board of Pharmacy to promulgate a legislative rule regarding pharmacy permits, specifically referencing the existing "15 CSR 15" rule filed in the State Register. The bill formally approves a rule the Board modified in response to legislative committee feedback, which was refiled in October 2025. This procedural authorization allows the Board to implement specific permit requirements for pharmacies without requiring new legislative action for each rule change. The rule directly affects pharmacies seeking or maintaining permits in West Virginia.
