Search West Virginia administrative rules (Code of State Rules) — the agency regulations that implement WV statutes, e.g. Board of Medicine physician-assistant supervision, nursing practice, professional-licensing requirements. Filter by agency (e.g. “Medicine”, “Registered Nurses, WV Board of”), title-series (e.g. “11-01B”), rule-name words, authorizing WV Code citation (e.g. “30-3E-3”), or full text of the rule documents. At least one filter is required. Returns counts by status first, then matching rule versions (active rules first). Use for “what does West Virginia require for X” when the answer is an agency rule rather than a statute; pair with wv_code_section for the statute and read_rule_text for the rule text.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`agency`	string	no	Agency name as the register lists it, e.g. “Medicine”, “Osteopathic Medicine”, “Registered Nurses, WV Board of”, “Physical Therapy”.
`title_series`	string	no	Rule family, e.g. “11-01B” (title 11, series 01B = Board of Medicine physician assistants).
`rule_name`	string	no	Words in the rule title, e.g. “physician assistants”.
`authority`	string	no	Authorizing WV Code citation, e.g. “30-3E-3”.
`full_text`	string	no	Words to find inside the rule documents, e.g. “collaborative agreement”.
`full_text_mode`	string	no	any = any of the words (default); literal = exact phrase.
`status`	string	no	Restrict by rule status. Omit for all versions (history included).
`limit`	number	no	Rule versions to return (default 25, max ${MAX_ROWS}). Counts always cover every match.
