This bill relates to the certificate of need program managed by the Oregon Health Authority (OHA). This bill excludes new hospitals providing inpatient psychiatric services, inpatient rehabilitation services, or inpatient or outpatient substance use treatment, from the requirement to obtain a certificate of need from the OHA. It also excludes the construction of new long-term care facilities from this requirement. Additionally, this bill sets procedures for applying for a certificate of need, rules for issuing a recommendation, and guidelines for an informal hearing if the recommendation is disputed. It explains the circumstances under which a certificate of need may be revoked or limited and what facilities and services do not require a certificate of need.
