SUMMARY:

Birth-Related Neurological Injury Compensation Program. Amends the Virginia Birth-Related Neurological Injury Compensation Act to authorize the compensation fund's board of directors to (i) provide notice of the fund's existence to obstetrical patients, and (ii) reduce voluntary hospital and physician assessments whenever the State Corporation Commission determines that the fund is actuarially sound (the Act currently authorizes such reductions for involuntary assessments). The bill also authorizes hospitals and physicians to enter the program mid-year after a 30-day waiting period is established.
