Repealing Addiction Treatment Pilot Program

SB 862 repeals three outdated sections (§62-15A-1, §62-15A-2, and §62-15A-3) of West Virginia’s code that previously established an Addiction Treatment Pilot Program. The bill formally removes these provisions because the pilot program no longer exists, as stated in the bill’s purpose. It does not create new policy or affect current services, as the referenced program was discontinued years ago. This is a procedural cleanup of the legal code, with no direct impact on patients, providers, or state funding. The bill passed quickly through both chambers in early March 2026.
