Bill > HB2041

This bill amends several sections of Arizona's statutes related to the licensure and regulation of healthcare institutions in the state. Key provisions include: - Authorizing the Director of the Department of Health Services to establish licensing fees, application and renewal processes, and standards for healthcare institutions. This includes allowing the Director to establish a process for licensees to request different licensing fee due dates. - Requiring initial license applications to include architectural plans and specifications, and allowing previously licensed healthcare institutions to be relicensed using the same standards as their most recent license. - Modifying the application process for healthcare institution licenses, including requirements around controlling persons, notifications of changes, and allowing some outpatient treatment centers to begin operating before the initial licensing inspection is completed. - Changing the inspection and licensing term requirements, including removing the requirement for renewal applications and allowing accredited hospitals to have longer license periods. - Retaining the existing requirements and processes for the licensure and inspection of abortion clinics. Overall, the bill aims to streamline and update the regulations and procedures for licensing and overseeing healthcare institutions in Arizona.
