Office of Miners' Health, Safety, and Training rule relating to submission and approval of comprehensive Mine Safety Program for coal mining operations in WV

This bill authorizes West Virginia's Office of Miners' Health, Safety, and Training to implement a specific rule (56 CSR 08) governing how coal mining operations must submit and get approval for their comprehensive Mine Safety Programs. It directly affects coal mining companies in West Virginia by requiring them to follow this standardized process for safety program submissions. The key mechanism is formalizing an existing rule that was filed with the State Register in September 2024, ensuring it has legislative backing for enforcement. The bill does not create new safety standards but establishes the procedural framework for program approval.
