West Virginia · 2026 Regular Session
The purpose of this bill is to revise outdated provisions within Articles 4 and 5, Chapter 23 of the West Virginia Code, which pertain to the administration of workers' compensation claims. Much of the revised language is antiquated and predates the 2005/2006 regulatory transition from a state-operated monopolistic system for workers' compensation to a competitive, private market system. The bill also repeals obsolete code sections.
Approved by Governor 4/1/2026 (2026-04-01)
