Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Bill SB 1012 removes the provision that allowed for the creation of 60 new substance abuse treatment beds specifically in Cabell County, focusing instead on a statewide increase of 100 beds designated for inpatient treatment of individuals aged 17 and under. This change matters because it broadens access to much-needed treatment facilities for young people across the state, rather than limiting it to just one county. It also clarifies that existing regulations for intermediate care facilities for individuals with intellectual disabilities remain intact.
