Committee on Health and Human Resources then the
Judiciary.]
A BILL to amend the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, by
adding thereto a new section, designated §16-5C-21, relating
generally to nursing homes; requiring a professional licensee
applying for work or working in a nursing home to meet the
criminal background check standard to obtain licensure to work
in a nursing home.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, be amended
by adding thereto a new section, designated §16-5C-21, to read as
follows:
ARTICLE 5C. NURSING HOMES.
§16-5C-21. Professional Licensee.
_____A person licensed under chapter thirty of this code and
applying for work or working in a nursing home shall only be
required to meet the criminal background check standard established to obtain licensure in order to work in a nursing home. If a
criminal background check standard is not established for that
profession under chapter thirty of this code, the department shall
implement a criminal background check standard by proposing a rule
for legislative approval in accordance with the provisions of
article three, chapter twenty-nine-a of this code.
NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to implement a criminal
background check standard that is consistent to obtain licensure
and to work in a nursing home.
§16-5C-21 is new; therefore, it has been completely
underscored.
