Legislative
Notes
By Delegate Mary P. Compton
Union, West Virginia - Each
month as lawmakers travel back to
the State Capitol or to other selected
destinations for legislative interim
meetings, it is apparent to me that
these committee meetings are
necessary and they are working. •
Interims prove to be an
educational opportunity for all
legislators, giving us the chance to
gain additional information on
complex issues•
With a number of measures being
reviewed, this month's meetings
kept lawmakers busy indeed. We
continue to study a variety of
matters: postpartum depression,
HMO's, PEIA, welfare reform,
children's health insurance and
many more.
Members of the Legislative
Oversight Committee on Health and
Human Resources Accountability
had a rather full agenda during this
interim period• We were given
reports from eight different state
agencies.
The monthly Medicaid report
generated a great deal of
questioning among members. We
were informed that the state
Medicaid program ended this fiscal
year without a deficit. As of June
30, the recorded balance was $13.4
million with only $766,500 due to be
paid out to health care providers. It
was also estimated that about $37
million in outstanding claims was
not included in the cash report,
making it difficult to see whether we
truly ended this year without a
deficit or not.
Historically, claims estimates are
usually high according to the
Medicaid budget director; therefore,
the estimated $37 million should be
covered.
Concerns about the Children's
Health Insurance Program were
also expressed. There is no doubt
in my mind, that the registration
process is moving too slow. We need
to shift gears and speed up the
process. If not, the future of the
program could be in jeopardy
Currently, it is overfunded and
the state will lose federal money if
more children are not registered. It
is absolutely necessary to get those
children signed up and insured. So
I encourage those of you who may
know children of working families

Resources at 1-668-WV Family.
Another issue being addressed
concerns nursing homes and their
staffing needs. Many nursing
homes are currently understaffed
which affect the quality of care.
Staffing needs are now being studied
by a legislative subcommittee.
The need for a veterans nursing
home in West Virginia is also being
looked at by an interim committee.
With approximately 200,000
veterans (ages 60-70) living in the
state, many feel that this should be
a top priority for our state.
Members of the committee will
study HCR 60 and HCR 53 over the
next couple of months to get a better
understanding of where we stand on
these issues. HCR 60 requests that
a study be conducted on the state's
growing and aging population and
the need for a veterans nursing
home for these individuals• The
resolution asks that we develop a
housing plan and a method of
funding which are both "feasible"
and "advisable."
Subcommittee members will also
continue to study the staffing needs
for nursing homes throughout the
state, and determine staffing levels
that will ensure that the residents
in these homes be provided with
sufficient, quality and appropriate
nursing services (HCR 53).
As we concluded with this
month's meetings, lawmakers
remained in Charleston for a 'orieff
special session. The special session
was called to determine the amount
of money needed to be placed in the
Civil Contingent Fund.
The Legislature passed a bill that
would allocate $11 million for
drought relief, $500,000 for the
Governor's Workforce Program, $2
million for the completion of the
Regional Training Institute at Camp
Dawson and $1 millign foJhePEIA

addressed through interim studies,
I will continue to report and cover
