Department of Health rule relating to diabetes self-management education

SB 273 authorizes the West Virginia Department of Health to implement a specific rule (64 CSR 115) regarding diabetes self-management education programs. The bill formally approves a legislative rule previously filed in the State Register on July 25, 2025, which outlines requirements for these education programs. This rule directly affects the Department of Health, which will use it to regulate diabetes self-management education services. The bill does not create new requirements but legally validates an existing rule to ensure its enforceability.
