SB 253 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Board of Risk and Insurance Management rule relating to mine subsidence insurance

This bill authorizes the Board of Risk and Insurance Management to promulgate a legislative rule regarding mine subsidence insurance, specifically referencing the existing regulatory code (115 CSR 01). It formally approves a rule that was previously filed and modified after addressing committee feedback. The bill does not create new insurance requirements or alter coverage terms - it only validates the board's authority to issue the rule. This is a procedural measure affecting the regulatory process, not the insurance policies themselves.
