This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to authorize the Insurance Commissioner to promulgate a legislative rule concerning mental health parity. Specifically, it references the legislative rule filed in the State Register on April 16, 2025, which is identified as 114 CSR 64. This rule is established under the authority of section 33-15-4u of the code. The primary purpose of this legislation is to ensure that mental health services are treated equally to physical health services in insurance coverage, thereby promoting mental health parity. The bill does not include any deletions from current law, as the section being amended is new and does not have any existing provisions that are being struck through.
