Department of Health rule relating to critical access hospitals

SB 330 authorizes the West Virginia Department of Health to establish rules governing critical access hospitals. This bill does not create new hospital requirements but grants the Department authority to develop specific regulations under 65 CSR 09. The rule would directly affect critical access hospitals by setting standards for their operations, though the bill itself only provides the legal foundation for future rulemaking. The legislation is procedural, focusing solely on enabling the Department to create these rules through standard administrative processes.
