AI Summary

This bill authorizes the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to create and implement a legislative rule, specifically identified as 45 CSR 16, which will establish standards of performance for new stationary sources. In plain language, this means the DEP is being given the legal authority to set rules for pollution control for newly built industrial facilities or equipment that emit pollutants. The bill confirms that a rule related to these standards was filed in the State Register on July 23, 2025, and that the DEP has the legal backing to proceed with it under existing state code.
