HB 4827 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Provide an increase in salary to WV Birth to Three contracted therapists and employees

HB 4827 increases payments by 25% for therapists and other professionals contracted through West Virginia's Birth-to-Three program who are *not* state employees. This change applies to services provided starting July 1, 2026, and is funded through the existing West Virginia Birth-to-Three Fund. The bill specifically targets contracted providers, not state agency employees, and modifies §16-5K-6 of the code to implement this payment adjustment. The fund sources include legislative appropriations, transfers from health divisions, private donations, and client fees. This is a direct payment increase for contracted service providers under the program.
