SB 349 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Board of Occupational Therapy rule relating to continuing education and competence

SB 349 is a procedural bill that authorizes West Virginia's Board of Occupational Therapy to implement existing rules about continuing education requirements for licensed occupational therapists. It specifically references a rule filed in the State Register on June 3, 2025 (13 CSR 04), which governs therapist competence through ongoing education. The bill does not change the substance of the education rules but formally permits the board to adopt and enforce them. This affects licensed occupational therapists in West Virginia who must complete continuing education to maintain their licenses.
