Relating to authorizing the Board of Risk and Insurance Management to promulgate a legislative rule relating to Preferred Medical Liability and High Risk Medical Liability Program.
HB 4204 authorizes West Virginia's Board of Risk and Insurance Management to implement a specific legislative rule (115 CSR 06) governing the Preferred Medical Liability and High Risk Medical Liability Program. This procedural bill does not change program rules but formally approves an existing regulatory action filed in the State Register. It directly affects healthcare providers and insurers participating in these medical liability programs by confirming the Board's authority to administer the rule. The bill focuses solely on regulatory authorization, not substantive policy changes to the programs.
