SB 649 West Virginia Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Supplementing and amending appropriations to Department of Health, Office of Inspector General

SB 649 amends the 2025 budget for West Virginia's Department of Health, Office of Inspector General (OIG), redirecting specific funds. It allocates $73,065 from current expenses to support informal dispute resolution for nursing home administrative appeals and transfers $650,000 to another OIG account (fund 5209). The bill also grants the Inspector General authority to transfer funds between appropriations within the OIG budget. This directly affects the OIG's operational budget and the process for resolving disputes involving nursing home regulations.
