SB 275 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Office of Inspector General rule relating to nursing home licensure

SB 275 authorizes West Virginia's Office of Inspector General to implement a specific nursing home licensure rule (71 CSR 15) that was previously developed and modified to address legislative committee feedback. This procedural bill directly affects nursing homes in West Virginia by establishing their licensure requirements under this rule. The bill does not create new policy but formally authorizes the implementation of an existing rule that was filed in the State Register (July 2025) and revised (December 2025). It ensures the rule has legal standing for enforcing nursing home licensing standards.
