Bill > HB4269

This bill authorizes the West Virginia Department of Agriculture to officially adopt and implement a legislative rule concerning Grade A pasteurized milk, which is milk that has been heated to a specific temperature for a set amount of time to kill harmful bacteria and then cooled rapidly, ensuring its safety for consumption. The rule, identified as 61 CSR 15, was initially filed on July 8, 2025, and subsequently modified by the Department to address concerns raised by the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee before being refiled on September 24, 2025, with the Legislature's approval now granting the Department the authority to proceed with its enforcement under the existing statute §19-11E-8.
