This bill proposes the repeal of several sections of the Code of West Virginia that pertain to the inflammation of the eyes in newborns. Specifically, it seeks to eliminate sections 16-3-7 through 16-3-13, which outline various duties and responsibilities related to the reporting, treatment, and management of this condition by healthcare providers, local health officers, and county officials.

By repealing these sections, the bill effectively removes the legal framework that mandates specific actions and protocols for addressing inflammation of the eyes in newborns, including the use of prophylactic medications and the associated penalties for non-compliance. This legislative change reflects a shift in the state's approach to managing this health issue, potentially indicating a move towards updated practices or a reassessment of the necessity of these regulations.
