AN ACT relating to ambulatory surgical centers.

Summary

The Senate bill amends Kentucky’s health‑facility certification law to exempt a long list of providers—from abortion clinics to rural health clinics—from needing a certificate of need or state licensure. It specifically adds freestanding ophthalmology and endoscopy surgical centers that are wholly owned by practicing physicians. The changes aim to reduce regulatory hurdles for these providers while keeping certain high‑risk services under oversight.
