This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to allow licensed health care facilities to relocate to a new location within a distance of 10 miles from their original site without the need to obtain a new license or approval. The new legal language specifies that any health care facility, including individuals, partnerships, associations, corporations, or governmental units holding a previously issued license, can make this move without additional licensing requirements.
The bill aims to streamline the process for health care facilities to adapt to changing circumstances, thereby enhancing operational flexibility. This change is intended to facilitate better access to health care services while maintaining regulatory oversight for the facilities involved.
