Bill > SB379

This bill authorizes a specific legislative rule for the West Virginia Board of Chiropractic Examiners regarding how prior criminal convictions are considered during initial licensure determinations. The rule, which was filed in the State Register on October 18, 2024, and is identified by the code 4 CSR 08, allows the Board to establish guidelines for evaluating an applicant's criminal history when deciding whether to grant a chiropractic license. By explicitly authorizing this rule under the authority of §30-1-24 of the state code, the bill provides the Board with the legal framework to make licensing decisions that take into account an applicant's past criminal record while presumably maintaining a fair and consistent approach to evaluating an individual's fitness to practice chiropractic medicine.
