Revises regulation of certain health care facilities.

Summary

The measure increases daily fines for operating a narcotic or substance‑use disorder treatment center without a state certificate and lets the health department adjust those fines based on facility size. It also gives the Commissioner of Health broader powers to inspect facilities, set reporting rules, approve rates, and intervene in financially distressed hospitals. Finally, it tightens the criteria for granting certificates of need and allows the commissioner to bar facilities or owners that violate the rules.
