Bill > AB1422

This bill amends Section 1212 of the Health and Safety Code to make technical, nonsubstantive changes to the licensing requirements for health care clinics. The bill clarifies and simplifies existing language around application processes for clinic licenses, focusing primarily on primary care clinics adding new services or physical plants. Specifically, it outlines that primary care clinics do not need a new application when adding a non-special service or remodeling, but must notify the department at least 60 days prior to such changes. The bill establishes a process for clinics to add additional physical plants under a single consolidated license, requiring the new location to meet specific criteria, including having a single governing body, administration, and medical director. The bill also specifies that additional physical plants must be within one-half mile of the original licensed clinic and that each additional plant will require a separate licensing fee. These changes aim to streamline the licensing process for primary care clinics while maintaining appropriate regulatory oversight of healthcare facilities.
