Removing bona fide schools, public libraries, and museums from the list of exemptions from criminal liability relating to distribution and display to minor of obscene matter

Maddy summaryThis bill removes schools, public libraries, and museums from legal exemptions that currently protect them from criminal prosecution when distributing or displaying legally obscene material to minors. Under current law, these institutions could avoid charges if they followed specific conditions (like having a parent present for minors at libraries), but the bill eliminates these protections entirely. The change means these organizations could now face criminal liability for such actions without the previous safeguards. This policy shift directly affects how these public institutions handle materials legally defined as obscene when minors are involved.

Relating to setting the rate the Public Employees Insurance Agency shall pay for services

Maddy summaryHB 2130 sets reimbursement rates for healthcare providers serving West Virginia public employees and retirees through the Public Employees Insurance Agency. It requires the Agency to pay hospitals at least 110% of Medicare rates for inpatient care (excluding Medicare primary retiree plans) and mandates an 80% employer/20% employee cost-sharing structure for premiums. The bill also requires annual financial plans to be reviewed by an independent actuary, includes public hearings on proposed plans, and allows subsidies for retired employees based on factors like employment length.
