West Virginia HB5328 establishes regulatory classification for bars, taverns, and restaurants based on business operations and commercial wastewater.

West Virginia HB5328 amends the state code to redefine the regulatory classification of bars, taverns, and restaurants. The classification will be based on the primary source of gross receipts, customer dwell time, seating turnover, and hours of food service relative to alcohol service. The bill also mandates the Department of Health to use nationally recognized average water-consumption standards for commercial wastewater and septic system requirements. It differentiates between various drain-field systems and sets performance standards for chamber systems.
