Summary

The bill adds a new code section that makes the State Department of Public Health and the Department of Health Care Access and Information process any hospital application needing both agencies' approval at the same time, starting as soon as a complete, fee‑paid application is received. It also amends existing emergency‑care rules with technical clarifications, such as nondiscrimination and liability protections. The changes aim to speed hospital projects while maintaining patient‑safety standards.
