Title

Certificate of Need, exempt health care institutions and services in rural areas from requirement

Description

Under existing law, health care institutions and providers, with some exceptions, must apply for and obtain a certificate of need as a requirement for constructing new medical facilities or offering new or expanded health care services.

This bill would eliminate the certificate of need requirement for any proposed new or expanded medical facility or health care service that is to be located in a rural area.

This bill would require rural health care providers to continue to submit reports to the State Health Planning and Development Agency.

This bill would delete duplicative language and would also make nonsubstantive, technical revisions to update the existing code language to current style.
