Health; exempt from certificate of need requirements certain nursing homes for war veterans

Summary

The bill amends Georgia’s certificate of need program to remove intermediate‑care and skilled‑nursing facilities that serve war veterans and are owned or operated for the Department of Veterans Service from the inventory used to determine health‑care need. By doing so, those facilities no longer face the regulatory hurdle of obtaining a certificate of need for additional beds. The change is intended to make it easier to provide nursing care to veterans.
