What’s in it
AI summary Most healthcare facilities in Iowa would no longer need special permission to start or change certain medical services. This rule change only keeps the requirement in place for nursing homes.1
Read the official explanation
This bill relates to the certificate of need process. The bill eliminates the application of certificate of need requirements to any other institutional health facility or other entity that furnishes new or changed institutional health services with the exception of nursing facilities. The bill amends the definition of “new institutional health service” or “changed institutional health service” to retain services applicable to a nursing facility and eliminates definitions and other provisions no longer necessary to the certificate of need provisions. The bill also makes conforming changes throughout the Code.
