Board of Osteopathic Medicine rule relating to emergency temporary permits to practice during states of emergency or states of preparedness
This bill authorizes the West Virginia Board of Osteopathic Medicine to create a rule allowing temporary practice permits for osteopathic physicians during declared states of emergency or preparedness. It specifically references an existing rule (24 CSR 09) filed in March 2025, which the bill formally approves. The rule would directly affect osteopathic physicians seeking to practice temporarily in emergency situations. As a procedural authorization, it does not create new policy but formalizes an existing administrative rule.
