This bill would specify that for purposes of the municipal or county business licenses, a qualified home health care or hospice agency or a qualified provider of durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, or health care supplies would only be required to purchase a municipal or county business license for its headquarters or any branch office that it maintains within the state.
In addition, a health care employee or other agent or representative of a qualified home health care or hospice agency or a qualified provider of durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, or health care supplies would not be required to purchase a business license from a municipality or county or its agent, including a private auditing firm, merely because the person visits a patient whose residence or the health care facility in which they are being treated is located within that municipality or county or furnishes equipment or health care supplies within the municipality or county.
