Bill Summary
An Act To Amend Section 41-7-173, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Remove End-stage Renal Disease Facilities From The Application Of The Health Care Certificate Of Need Law; And For Related Purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends Mississippi law to remove End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) facilities, which are kidney disease treatment centers including freestanding hemodialysis units, from the requirements of the Health Care Certificate of Need Law. The Certificate of Need Law, generally, requires healthcare providers to obtain approval from the State Department of Health before offering new services or making significant capital expenditures. By exempting ESRD facilities, this bill aims to streamline the process for these specific types of healthcare providers, potentially allowing them to expand or establish services without the need for a certificate of need review. This change will take effect on July 1, 2026.
