HB 2182 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Establishing privacy regarding medical treatments.

HB 2182 establishes privacy rights for patients regarding medical treatments by prohibiting mandatory disclosure or administration of medical products unless the manufacturer is liable for related deaths or serious injuries. The bill directly affects patients who might otherwise be compelled to disclose treatment history or receive specific medical products (including drugs, devices, or biologics). Its key provision blocks any requirement for patients to take, receive, or disclose medical product use unless the manufacturer is held accountable for harm. The law applies broadly to all medical products and aims to prevent involuntary medical actions without manufacturer liability. (Note: This bill is procedural and has not yet been voted on, as it was introduced on February 12, 2025.)
