Relating to brain injury screening training

SB 913 requires West Virginia's Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation to train staff to screen all incoming and currently incarcerated individuals for brain injuries by July 1, 2027. The bill mandates that screening processes be developed with input from a designated study group (referenced in §27-6A-12 of the code). It also requires the Division of Corrections, Division of Rehabilitation Services, and Department of Veterans Assistance to create memorandums of understanding with the study group to share confidential health records for research purposes. This policy directly affects incarcerated individuals in state facilities and correctional personnel who will implement the screening protocols.
