Regulatory Reform Act of 2026.

Summary

It changes state law so any temporary waiver or modification issued by the U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary or CMS under sections 1135 or 1812(f) is automatically applied to North Carolina hospitals. It also authorizes the Division of Health Service Regulation to waive hospital rules and temporarily raise bed capacity during declared emergencies, with a 72‑hour notice requirement and oversight. The goal is to speed hospital response when crises occur.
