Department of Health Facilities rule relating to patient rights at state-operated mental health facilities

SB 280 authorizes the West Virginia Department of Health Facilities to promulgate a legislative rule about patient rights at state-operated mental health facilities. This rule, previously filed in the State Register on July 25, 2025, would directly affect patients in these facilities by establishing standards for their rights and care. The bill itself is procedural, focusing on legal authorization rather than new policy details.
