Authorizing the Department of Health to promulgate a legislative rule relating to critical access hospitals

HB 2250 authorizes the West Virginia Department of Health to implement an existing legislative rule (65 CSR 09) related to critical access hospitals. The bill formally approves a rule previously filed in the State Register on December 5, 2023, which the Department had already proposed under existing law. This procedural measure does not change hospital regulations or operations but gives official legislative approval for the Department to promulgate the rule. It directly affects critical access hospitals by allowing the Department of Health to enforce the specific rule regarding their operations.
