WV HB3109

Clarifies that the three-year statute of limitations for filing occupational pneumoconiosis (black lung disease) compensation claims does not restrict when a claimant can obtain a medical evaluation from the Occupational Pneumoconiosis Board

Preserves existing filing deadlines for compensation claims: three years from last exposure of 60+ consecutive days to occupational hazards, or three years from when a physician diagnosed the impairment

Maintains the two-year deadline for dependents to file claims following an employee's death from occupational pneumoconiosis

Ensures the provisions of §23-4-8c (related to the Occupational Pneumoconiosis Board) remain applicable regardless of claim filing time limits
