HB 2485 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Exempt an existing hospital under certificate of need to move their facility up to 10 miles to a new location

This bill (HB 2485) amends West Virginia's certificate of need law to clarify existing exemptions, but it **does not create a new exemption for hospitals relocating up to 10 miles**. The bill text provided lists 18 existing exemptions (e.g., for CT scanners in private offices, research equipment, skilled nursing facility acquisitions, and electronic health records), none of which include facility relocations. The title mentioned in your query does not align with the actual bill text, which focuses on refining current exemption criteria rather than enabling hospital moves. No specific hospital or location is affected by this bill as described.
