Title

Health care facilities and services, abolishing the certificate of need program

Description

Under existing law, health care facilities and providers, with some exceptions, are required to apply for and obtain a certificate of need before they may construct new facilities or offer new or expanded services.

This bill would repeal the certificate of need program and abolish the state agencies, councils, and boards that either collect data in support of or operate the certificate of need program.

This bill would further update code sections to remove references both to the certificate of need program and those agencies, councils, and boards, and make nonsubstantive, technical revisions to update the existing code language to current style.
