Bill > SB272

This bill authorizes the Department of Health to establish a legislative rule, specifically 64 CSR 73, concerning basic public health service standards for local boards of health, after it was modified to address objections from the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee. A key provision of this bill is the creation of a new section detailing the membership and duties of the West Virginia Public Health Advisory Committee, which will consist of nine members appointed by the Commissioner from lists provided by the West Virginia Association of Local Health Departments and the County Commissioner’s Association of West Virginia and the West Virginia Association of Counties, along with the President of the WVALHD. This committee will elect a Chairperson, serve two-year terms, and meet at least six times annually to advise the Commissioner, help develop tools to assess local health board performance, and provide input on training for appointees. Additionally, the bill makes minor adjustments to numerical values within existing sections of the rule.
