Legislative
Notes
By Delegate Mary P. Compton
During the past few weeks a great
deal of my energy has been expended
in dealing with medical issues as the
focus of health care shifted to this
topic when Legislators began to
tackle issues regarding stronghealth
care programs, providers and facili-
ties.
At a public hearing Thurs. Feb.
14, the Task Force on Medical Edu-
cation presented its research and
discussed the recommendations of a
report compiled between Jan. 24 and
Feb. 12. The report outlined direc-
tives to reorganize medical educa-
tion programs by modifying the ex-
isting structure of health sciences in
W. Vs.
Research by the task force re-
vealed that significant new resources
would be needed if medical educa-
tion continued in its current struc-
ture, therefore, the report was based
on the needs of West Virginians
compared with national averages.
The members also tried to deter-
mine the outcome of implementing
suggested proposals.
The Task Force on Medical Edu-
cation made the following recom-
mendations for the structure of
medical education and health sci-
ences in W. Va. to the members of
the 70th Legislature:
1) The Medical College ofW. Va.
would be created. This single insti-
tution would have a president who
would leading and managing the
health science units in the state. The
institution would have multiple
campuses and will include all the
health related disciplines within the
Beard of Trustees system. 2) The
basic sciences of the osteopathic
school will be taught in a dual track
system at Marshall University. 3)
The Lewisburg health facility would
be clinical campus for the Medical
College of W. Va. and a center of
I
views on many of the issues before
the Legislators.
Groups which had rallies at the
Capitol include Veterans, retired
teachers, public employees and small
business owners. These also gave
citizens the opportunity tovoice their
concerns or support for legislative
initiatives which would affect them.
It has been nice to see a number of
citizens from Monroe and Summers
counties at the Capitol showing their
interest in the Legislative process.
One issue at the forefront is regu-
lation of the timber industry. Dur-
ing a public hearing this past week,
representatives from the state for-
estry association, environmental
officials and loggers from through-
out the state presented the pros and
cons of regulation.
Another issue of great concern for
the state is redistricting. Because of
population loss during the past ten
years in W. Va., the state will lose
one congressional district. The House
sub-committee for congressional
redistricting has chosen plan "I"
which would have a variance of 53
persons making each district have
approximately 598,000 citizens. The
plan was reported out by the full
House Redistricting Committee, Fri.
Feb. 22. Both the House and Senate
will be taking a close look at this
plan.
In the area of medical education,
.the Governor proposed hislatest plan
which would retain separate identi-
fies for West VirginiaUniversity and
Marshall University, place admini-
stration and finances of the medical
schools under a vice chancellor for
the Board of Trustees and redirect
the "soft drink tax to fund medical
and health sciences programs at all
the medical schools. The Osteopathic
School would also remain untouched
under this plan.
i
lar interest to citizens of Monroe and
Summers Counties, would allow
persons to retain wildlife during the
closed season (HB2641). For ex-
ample, at the present time it is ille-
gal for anyone to have deer meat in
their deep freezer after the close of
the season. If the proposed legisla-
'tion, which has been approved by
the House, meets the approval of the
Senate, persons would be able to
keep meat for 60 days after hunting
season for an indefinite period of
time if they obtain a permit.
One piece of legislation of great
concern is a]lowingadditional weight
limits to trucks (HB 2155). This bill
was passed out of the Roads and
Transportation committee and will
come before the full membership of
the House in the upcoming week.
Another important measure
which will be up for consideration by
the House would create a state-wide
long-term care ombudsman program
within the State Commission on
Aging (HB 2582). The purpose of
this program is to provide represen-
tation for residents in long-term care
facilities and to investigate any
complaints by these residents.
As always I will continue to keep
you informed of the events occurring
during the session. If you wish to
obtain further information about the
Legislature,including bill status, you
may call Legislative Public Informa-
tion at 1-800-642-8650. Messages for
myself or other Delegates and Sena-
tors may also be left at this number.
I also value your views so if you
have any comments or questions on
various issues, please feel free to
write or call me directly. My address
at the Capitol is 211-E, Main Capitol
Building, Chaideston, WV, 25305 and'
my phone number is 340-3175.

excellence in rural health care deliv-
ery and research. 4) An advisory
committee, made up of members from
the Legislature, the Governor's Of-
rice and Board of Trustees, would be
appointed by the Governor to aid in
communication between the govern-
ment and the Trustees during the
implementation of the plan. 5) The
implementation of this plan would
begin July 1,1991. and 6)The Beard
of Trustees would give considera-
tion to those students who are regis-
toted in the program at this time or
will enter the program in the Fall of
1991.
The debate over medical educa-
tion has been a heated one. Two of
the main issues in the debate re-
lated to cutting programs at WVU
and moving the osteopathic schools
basic science program to Marshall
University.
I do not believe that moving the
osteopathic school to Huntington is
a good idea because I do not think
that it would produce any type of
cost-savings for the state. (n fact,
staff at Marshall University believe
that this move would require an
additional 45 percent increase in
funding and WVU officials believe
that the University could absorb the
osteopathic students or Marshall
students without any additional cost.
I believe the plan to move the
osteopathic school to Huntington is
fatally flawed and a plan should be
reviewed whereby the basic sciences
would be moved from Marshall
University to WVU. I think this type
of plan would be more of a cost sav-
ings for the W.Va. taxpayers.
Also, I believe that because of the
emphasis on rural health care at the
osteopathic schools Legislators
should review making a model
Health Care Clinical facilty for Rural
Health Care under the auspices of
WVU. I believe that the first year of
basic sciences as well as the reten-
tion of the third and fourth year
students should continue at the
Groenbrier facility with the ability
to use the WVU program.
It appears as we begin to tackle
the actual legislation relating to
medical education in W. Vs. that a
plan will be created which will pro-
duce more doctors for rural areas
and at the same time begin to con-
tain medical education costs. I hope
a plan will be created so W. Va. will
have a stronger medical education
program and so rural health care
will have the attention that has been
needed over the years.
As the 70th Legislature enters
the last weeks of the session many
key bills are being scrutinized in
committees as well as on the floor.
Many public hearings also have
taken place at the Capitol giving
concerned citizens or interested
groups the choice to express their
During the past week the House
of Delegates operated on its Special
Calendar. In the latter part of a
session, two calendars may be
printed in the House Journals, the
house Calendar and the special cal-"
endar. The House Rules Committee
determines the most important bills
to be considered and places them on
the special calendar and only those
items placed on the special calendar
are taken up by the members of this
body.
Some measures passed by the
House this week include a bill which
suspends driver's licenses of defen-
dante who fail to pay fines or costs
assessed in misdemeanor cases in
magistrate court (HB2545), another
provides for free Class B resident
state-wide fishing licenses to the
developmentally disabled (HB2615),
one increases salaries for magis-
trates, magistrate court clerks and
magistrate assistants (HN 2761) and
another allows corrections officers
to be compensated for holidays
worked (HB 2548).
Another piece of legislation passed
by the House during the week in-
cluded a groundwater protection bill
(HB2377). This measure provides
for the protection ofthe present and
future use of the state's groundwa-
ter by establishing a state ground-
water management program which
will set standards for purity and
quality as well as levy fines for non-
compliance.
