Legislative
Notes
By Delegate Mary 1). Compton
As the final hour came to pass,
the governor completed his bill
signing at midnight, April 8, 1999.
Of the number of bills passed by beth
bodies, five were vetoed, while one
became law without the governor's
signature. A total of 309 bills were
signed into law after the conclusion
of this legislative session.
Although only two pieces of
legislation were rejected primarily
due to technical reasons, the
governor also vetoed three
additional bills as the deadline drew
near. Measures that would rewrite
the "state's domestic law," give a tax
break on wigs for cancer patients
and legislation that would have
restricted the amount of money
placed in a special account for
income tax refunds were all vetoed.
The governor's administration
plans to donate an estimated
$15,000 for the wig tax exemption
to the state chapter of the American
Cancer Society. The bill was not
vetoed because of its intent;
however, as it made its way through
the legislative process, it became
known as"a Christmas Tree. Many
unnecessary amendments were
attached to the bill which made it
very unpopular. Seven extra
exemptions were added to the bill,
giving tax breaks to lobbyists, car
rental commissions and the sale of
soap at car washes.
Midnight Thursday was the
deadline for the governor to sign or
veto any measure placed before him.
If he refused to act on any piece of
legislation, it automatically became
law. With this in mind, a bill
allowing slot machines at the state's
four rhcetracks, became law without
the governor's signature.
The governor signed quite a few
bills this past week in order to meet
the deadline requirements. Of
those, quite a few focus on our health
care system.
A bill that amends fl#e sections'
of the WV Medical Practice Act and
adds a new section, which places the
Board of Medicine under the Sunset
provisions was signed by the
governor on April 7. House Bill
2082, authorizes the board to enter
into reciprocity agreements with
other jurisdictions, provides an
exemption for eligible graduates of
certain foreign medical schools
from meeting additional
requirements for licensure and
defines the term "telemedicine." It
also requires
licensure for persons engaged in
the practice of telemedicine and
provides exceptions, as well as
expands the basis for board
investigations. It further eliminates
certain mandatory reporting,
provides additional due process
protections for physicians subject to
disciplinary proceedings, permits
assessment of cost against
complainant in certain cases and
provides for remand in court cases
of after-discovered evidence. It will
go into effect 90 days from its
original passage date.
Another bill that was signed into
law on April 8, empowers the Board
of Physical Therapy to set
licensing fees and allows physical
therapy assistants to practice
without the direct supervision of a
physical therapist. House Bill 2802
also provides that an applicant may
be issued only one temporary permit
that is only valid for 30 days. It
further removes outdated language
in beard disciplinary procedures and
goes into effect 30 days from
passage.
At last, a bill that establishes a
special volunteer medical license
and issued without payment of fees
and provides civil immunity for
voluntary medical services rendered
to indigents by retired doctors, was
signed by the governor on April 6.
It will go into effect 90 days from its
original passage date.
The 309 bills that were signed
into law by the governor and the one
measure,making itaway: threugh
the legislative process because the
governor failed to react, will all be
placed into West Virginia Code.
It is important to note that after
a bill becomes law, it is called an act.
The "Acts of the Legislature" are
published annually and reflect all
the measures which become law in
a given year. The acts are then
inserted into the appropriate
portions of the West Virginia Code,
which is a series of books containing
the laws of the state.
As always, if you have any
legislative questions or concerns,
please do not hesitate to call me by
phone at 340-3269, or by mail at
State Capitol Complex, Building 1,
Room 208-E. Charleston, WV. 25305.
