West Virginia HB5035 mandates written policies for medication-assisted treatment programs regarding community relations and public notice.

West Virginia HB5035 requires medication-assisted treatment programs to have written policies concerning community relations. These programs must notify county commissioners and mayors of their intended location and detail policies to avoid disrupting public or private functions. Programs must also publish a Class 1 legal advertisement 60 days before operation. Programs cannot be located within half a mile of a day care center or K-12 school. The Office of Health Facility Licensure and Certification can inspect programs to verify compliance with any granted waivers or variances.
