This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to authorize the Office of Inspector General to promulgate a legislative rule concerning the licensure of behavioral health centers. Specifically, it introduces a new subsection 2.7, which states that the director shall consider the license of a child placing agency that provides behavioral health services as valid within the scope of its existing license, as outlined in 78CSR02.

Additionally, the bill requires the renumbering of the remaining subsections to accommodate this new insertion. The overall aim of the legislation is to enhance the regulatory framework governing behavioral health centers, ensuring that child placing agencies are recognized for their licensure in the context of providing behavioral health services.
