Relating to hospice licensure; and declaring an emergency.

Summary

The bill tightens Oregon's hospice licensing by adding application requirements, background checks, fees and periodic site inspections. It bars anyone excluded from Medicare or Medicaid, or found liable for health‑care fraud, from owning a hospice. It also creates a temporary freeze on new licenses except for specific situations and mandates rulemaking within two years.
