House Bill 4225 aims to amend and reenact section 64-5B-1 of the Code of West Virginia, specifically to empower the Office of Inspector General to establish a legislative rule concerning the delegation of medication administration and health maintenance tasks to approved medication assistive personnel. The bill includes specific amendments to the existing legislative rule filed on July 25, 2025, which pertains to these tasks.
The proposed amendments include a modification to subsection 2.14, where a period is replaced with a comma followed by the addition of "this includes a dial-up insulin pen." Additionally, in subsection 9.2, a new clause is added stating that "Selecting or setting the amount on a dial-up insulin pen to an amount prescribed is ministerial in nature and is not deemed an exercise of a clinical or judgment decision-making." These changes clarify the responsibilities of medication assistive personnel regarding the use of dial-up insulin pens.
