SB 361 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Board of Pharmacy rule relating to pharmacist recovery networks

SB 361 authorizes the West Virginia Board of Pharmacy to implement a rule regarding pharmacist recovery networks, which are programs enabling pharmacists to provide medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder. The rule, previously drafted and modified to address legislative concerns, is now formally approved by law. This procedural bill directly affects pharmacists and pharmacies by allowing the Board to establish standards for participation in recovery networks. It does not alter the rule's content but enables its implementation as part of pharmacy practice regulations.
