The bill passed on April 10, 2025, repeals several sections of the Code of West Virginia that pertain to the inflammation of the eyes in newborns. Specifically, it eliminates sections 16-3-7 through 16-3-13, which included provisions regarding the reporting and treatment of such cases, the duties of local health officers, the use of prophylactic medication, and the responsibilities of county clerks and health officials.

By repealing these sections, the bill effectively removes outdated regulations and responsibilities related to the management of eye inflammation in newborns, streamlining the legal framework surrounding this health issue. The changes will take effect 90 days after passage, on July 9, 2025.
