This bill aims to repeal the existing moratorium on the Certificate of Need for opioid treatment facilities in West Virginia, specifically targeting the provision outlined in 16B-13-12 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931. By eliminating this moratorium, the bill seeks to facilitate the establishment and expansion of opioid treatment programs in the state, thereby addressing the ongoing opioid crisis.

The proposed legislation does not introduce any new legal language but focuses solely on the repeal of the current moratorium, which is indicated by the strikethrough of the relevant section. This change is intended to streamline the process for opioid treatment facilities to obtain necessary approvals and ultimately improve access to treatment for individuals struggling with opioid addiction.
