Summary

The bill forces every West Virginia administrative rule to sunset automatically unless the agency files a renewal petition that meets a strict, zero‑based justification. It adds a regulatory‑burden budget that obliges agencies to offset new costs by cutting existing rules, and it creates an independent commission to oversee the process. The aim is to cut outdated or overly burdensome regulations and give the legislature more control.
