SB 1001: Supplementing and amending appropriations to Department of Health and Department of Human Services

This West Virginia bill authorizes the transfer of unspent money from the 2024 fiscal year into specific 2025 budgets for the Department of Health and the Department of Human Services. It allows these agencies to use leftover funds for ongoing operations such as employee salaries, current expenses, and capital maintenance without needing new legislative approval. The legislation also permits the Department of Health Secretary to move up to five percent of funds between different budget categories within the same department to ensure efficient spending. By reappropriating these balances, the bill ensures that previously allocated resources continue to support essential services like medical programs, drug control, and maternal health clinics.

HB 113: Prohibiting payment to residential substance use disorder treatment facilities that do not meet certain requirements

This bill prohibits the state of West Virginia and its contracted insurance companies from paying for treatment at residential substance use disorder facilities that are not properly licensed and accredited by January 1, 2026. To qualify for reimbursement, these facilities must hold a state license and accreditation from a recognized organization like CARF, the Joint Commission, or DNV. The law requires the state health bureau to update its rules by October 2025 and mandates that new facilities or those changing ownership must achieve accreditation within one year of starting operations. Additionally, the bill sets up a process for the Inspector General to create specific rules and requires a final report on the law's effectiveness by the end of 2030, after which the provisions will expire unless renewed.
