Intr Text

Pro-Growth Regulatory Reform Act of 2026 requires legislative approval for rules increasing state costs by over $500,000 within five years.

The Pro-Growth Regulatory Reform Act of 2026 mandates that any proposed rule estimated to increase regulatory costs in West Virginia by more than $500,000 within five years must be ratified by the legislature before it can take effect. The agency must submit the proposed rule to the Legislative Rule-making Review Committee at least 30 days before the next regular legislative session. If the legislature does not ratify the rule during that session, the agency must terminate the proposed rulemaking. Emergency rules are exempt from this requirement.
