AI Summary
This bill modernizes and streamlines the licensing and inspection provisions for hospitals, nursing facilities, and intermediate care facilities in Idaho. The bill repeals numerous existing sections of Idaho Code related to hospital licensing and replaces them with a new "Streamlined Facilities Licensing and Inspection Act" that simplifies regulatory requirements. Key provisions include defining terms such as "hospital," "nursing facility," and "home health agency"; establishing new licensing criteria that primarily rely on Medicare and Medicaid certification standards; creating provisions for denying or revoking facility licenses if health or safety risks exist; and establishing penalties for operating a facility without proper licensure. The bill also updates references in various other sections of Idaho Code to align with the new definitions and removes specific rules related to skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies, intermediate care facilities, and hospitals, which will become null and void on July 1, 2025. The legislation aims to standardize and simplify the regulatory framework for healthcare facilities while maintaining essential safety and quality standards.
