(b) Volunteer members, who have completed approved training and are actively involved in a neighborhood Crime Watch Patrol, duly organized under the auspices of the National Crime Prevention Council, shall be eligible for coverage under the West Virginia Public Employees Insurance health coverage plan and the cost for coverage on themselves and their spouses and dependents will be covered by the state.
