Bill > SB329

This bill authorizes the West Virginia Department of Health to implement a legislative rule (specifically Rule 64 CSR 113) related to the Safe Harbor Letter for the Medical Cannabis Program. A Safe Harbor Letter in this context typically provides legal protection for patients, caregivers, or medical professionals participating in the state's medical cannabis program, ensuring they are not subject to prosecution or penalties when complying with the state's medical cannabis regulations. The bill formally approves the rule that was filed in the State Register on August 29, 2024, under the authority of §16A-3-1 of the state code, which suggests the rule has been reviewed and is now being officially sanctioned by the state legislature. This type of legislative action is a standard procedural step to formally recognize and validate administrative rules related to specific state programs.
