Relating to liability shield products

HB 4643 establishes regulatory requirements for "liability shield products" (medical, pharmaceutical, biological, or technological products already immune from federal liability). It requires manufacturers to conduct five-year placebo-controlled studies, track adverse outcomes using West Virginia's health network and VAERS, and publish safety data publicly. The bill grants individuals the right to refuse these products and imposes civil penalties of up to $100,000 per violation for noncompliance with study, reporting, or refusal requirements. Enforcement begins January 1, 2032, with the Attorney General or affected individuals able to pursue legal action. This applies directly to manufacturers distributing such products in West Virginia.
