The Senate Committee on Health and Human Resources met Tuesday afternoon to discuss three bills on the agenda.
House Bill 2492 would direct all reports of abuse and neglect to the central office of Department of Health and Human Resources. The Committee unanimously approved the House Bill, and reported it to the full Senate to be vote upon.
Senate Bill 394 would allow the state of West Virginia to opt out of a federal statute that would not allow an individual living in the state who has previously been convicted of a felony involving a controlled substance from receiving benefits under the supplemental nutrition program (SNAP). The bill is currently tabled in committee.
Senate Bill 400 would permit the West Virginia Board of Dentistry to create specialty licenses. The bill would change the specific examination an applicant must pass before being issued a license to practice dentistry. The bill was approved, and was referred to the Committee on Government Organization.
