To provide for immunity for mental health providers who are involved in mental hygiene checks.
HB 3093 provides legal immunity to mental health professionals who conduct mental hygiene checks for possible involuntary hospitalization under West Virginia law. It directly affects licensed counselors, social workers, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants performing these evaluations. The bill creates protection from liability when providers follow specific procedures outlined in the law, including having particularized expertise in mental health and conducting examinations per court orders. This change modifies liability standards for professionals involved in involuntary hospitalization cases involving substance use disorders or mental illness.
