Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to eliminate the Certificate of Need Mortarium on opioid treatment programs.
AI Summary
This bill repeals a section of West Virginia law that established a moratorium, which is a temporary suspension of an activity, on obtaining a Certificate of Need for opioid treatment programs. A Certificate of Need is a regulatory process that requires healthcare facilities to demonstrate a public need before expanding or building new services. By repealing this section, the bill effectively removes the existing moratorium, allowing opioid treatment facilities to pursue Certificates of Need without this specific restriction.
