The Senate Committee on Health and Human Resources discussed seven bills that involved new rules and amendments for the Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR).
Senate Bill 170 relates to West Virginia code on food establishments. The current code is from 2005, and the bill would update the code to the Federal standard from 2013. The bill would also qualify the state for continued funding provided by the Federal Government.
Senate Bill 171 involves a DHHR rule relating to food manufacturing facilities. The proposed amendment would have the Department of Agriculture oversee these facilities on certain foods instead of DHHR.
All seven bills were approved by the Committee to be reported to the Senate, and then to be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
