An Act To Facilitate The Development Of Ambulatory Surgical Facilities By Exempting Certain Facilities From The Requirement To Obtain A Certificate Of Need

Summary

The law removes the requirement for many outpatient surgery centers to obtain a Certificate of Need before building or expanding. Facilities owned or run by hospitals can still be exempt, but only if they operate solely as surgical centers and do not share space with a hospital or a critical‑access hospital’s outpatient surgery department, even if their hours don’t overlap. The change is intended to make it easier to open new ambulatory surgical sites.
