The purpose of this bill is to enact a comprehensive plan, based on public health, research and data, to combat the state’s opioid drug and substance abuse crisis. This bill creates the centralized Office of Drug Control Policy under the direction of the Secretary of DHHR and the supervision of the State Health Officer, and incorporates the West Virginia Poison Control Center as a division. This role of the office is to coordinate information, resources, programs, and state and federal funds through a centralized office. This bill codifies various public health and education initiatives and pilot programs to prevent and treatment substance abuse, and transfers responsibility of the Controlled Substance Monitoring Program from the Board of Pharmacy to the Office of Drug Control Policy.
