What’s in it

AI summary Iowa would get rid of the group of people currently in charge of making rules for hospitals. Instead, the Department of Public Health would create these rules with help from the state board of health. This change affects how different types of hospitals are licensed and regulated in the state.1

Read the official explanation

This bill relates to the elimination of the hospital licensing board. The current duties of the hospital licensing board, which is comprised of six individual appointed by the governor, include consulting with and advising the department of public health (DPH) in matters of policy affecting the administration of Code chapter 135B (licensure and regulation of hospitals), developing rules and standards provided for under Code chapter 135B, and reviewing and approving rules and standards authorized under Code chapter 135B prior to their approval by the state board of health and adoption by the department. The bill eliminates the hospital licensing board and provides that DPH, with the approval of the state board of health, shall adopt rules setting out the standards for the different types of hospitals to be licensed.
