Bill Summary
A BILL to amend and reenact §16-2D-8 and §16-2D-10 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, relating to removing services from requiring a certificate of need; exempting personal care services from certificate of need; exempting intellectual developmental disabilities services from certificate of need.
AI Summary
This bill amends West Virginia law to remove the requirement for a "certificate of need" for certain health services, which is a state-level approval process designed to ensure that new healthcare facilities and services are needed and do not duplicate existing ones. Specifically, the bill exempts "personal care services," which are non-medical services that help individuals with daily living activities, and "intellectual developmental disabilities services," which are services aimed at supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, from needing this certificate of need. This change is intended to streamline the process for offering these types of services within the state.
