House Bill 4767
By Delegates Worrell and Hite
[Originating in the Committee on Health and Human Resources; Reported on February 5, 2026]

A BILL to amend the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, by adding a new section, designated §9-5-34, relating to requiring the Bureau for Medical Services to file a legislative rule.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:

ARTICLE 5. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

§9-5-34. Medicaid Manual.

(a) The Bureau for Medical Services shall prepare, compile, and file its complete policy manual as a legislative rule in accordance with the provisions of §29A-3-1
et seq.
of this code.
(b) The bureau shall file the legislative rule required under subsection (a) with the Secretary of States’ office on or before July 1, 2026.

et seq.
