Bill > H7392

This bill amends the Certificate of Need program within the Department of Health, which is a process requiring approval before certain healthcare facilities can expand or offer new services, by capping the application fee at twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000). Previously, fees for applications proposing new or expanded tertiary or specialty care services were calculated as a base amount plus a percentage of the total capital expenditure costs, with no upper limit, but this bill adds a maximum fee for these specific types of applications, ensuring that the total fee will not exceed $25,000, and this change will become effective immediately upon its passage.
