What’s in it

AI summary Iowa would no longer require hospitals and other health facilities to get special permission before they start a new medical service or change an existing one. This change removes the current approval process for these types of healthcare developments.1

Read the official explanation

This bill eliminates the certificate of need (CON) process required prior to the offering or development of a new or changed institutional health service and makes conforming changes throughout the Code.
