SB 278 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Office of Inspector General rule relating to syringe services program licensure

This bill authorizes West Virginia's Office of Inspector General to implement a specific rule (71 CSR 24) governing syringe services program (SSP) licensure. It directly affects SSPs that provide sterile syringes and related services, requiring them to comply with the licensed framework. The rule, previously modified and refiled after addressing legislative committee concerns, establishes licensure standards for these programs. The bill itself does not create new requirements but formalizes an existing regulatory framework for SSP operations.
