HEALTH CARE FACILITY PLANNING

Summary

This bill removes an automatic exemption that allowed health care facilities to reduce their bed capacity or discontinue services without state review. Now, facilities must apply for a Certificate of Need and prove the reduction will not hurt community access to care. It affects hospitals, nursing homes, and the communities that rely on them by adding oversight to service cuts.
