Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


The proposed legislation requires that the WV State Board of Risk and Insurance Management (BRIM) shall provide medical professional liability insurance to all of the state's medical and dental schools, all of their clinical practice plans and all of their directors, officers, employees, agents and contractors in an amount to be determined by the State Board of Risk and Insurance Management, but in no event less than $1 million for each occurrence. Since BRIM already provides coverage of $1 million per occurrence, there should be no additional revenue, costs and expenses for the current fiscal year, or any subsequent fiscal year.
