AI Summary
This bill authorizes the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to create and implement a formal rule, known as a legislative rule, to address air pollution that travels across state lines. Specifically, this rule will focus on controlling emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) on an annual basis, as well as NOx emissions during the ozone season, which is the period when ozone pollution is most likely to form. The DEP is being given the authority to establish these controls under existing state law, specifically referencing a rule filed on July 23, 2025, designated as 45 CSR 43, which deals with cross-state air pollution.
