HB 4225 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Relating to authorizing the Office of Inspector General to promulgate a legislative rulerelating to delegation of medication administration and health maintenance tasks to approved medication assistive personnel.

HB 4225 amends an existing rule (71 CSR 17) to clarify how medication assistive personnel can administer medications and perform health tasks. It specifically adds "dial-up insulin pen" to the list of permitted devices and states that setting insulin dosages according to a prescription is a routine task, not a clinical decision requiring professional judgment. This directly affects healthcare facilities, medication assistive personnel, and the Office of Inspector General overseeing compliance. The changes provide clearer guidance for safe medication administration without altering the underlying policy.
