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 addresses the licensing of child placing agencies that provide behavioral health services, ensuring that these agencies operate within the scope of their licenses as outlined in existing regulations.

The bill introduces a new subsection (2.7) that states, "The director shall deem the license of a child placing agency providing behavioral health services within the scope of its license as described in 78CSR02." Additionally, it 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 in West Virginia.
