Bill > SB313

This bill authorizes the West Virginia Department of Agriculture to establish and enforce official grades and standards for apples, ensuring consistency and quality for consumers. The Department has already drafted a legislative rule, identified as "61 CSR 08," which outlines these grades and standards. This rule was initially filed on June 24, 2025, and subsequently modified to address concerns raised by the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee before being refiled on August 18, 2025. The authority for the Department to create such rules stems from section 19-5-1 of the West Virginia Code.
