Chamber Passed·2/16/26

West Virginia HB5096 removes personal care services and intellectual developmental disabilities services from requiring a certificate of need.

West Virginia HB5096 amends the state code to exempt personal care services and intellectual developmental disabilities services from the certificate of need requirements. This bill removes these services from the list of health services that need approval before being offered or developed in the state. The exemption applies to services provided without a certificate of need, allowing for more flexibility in offering these services. The bill also includes provisions for reinvesting savings from moving individuals from institutional care into home- and community-based services.
