Fiscal Detail and Notes
Any additional costs for the Department of Health and Human Services are expected to be minor and can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources. The bill authorizes the Department to establish reasonable and necessary fees for the administration of the certificate of need program in addition to the current filing fees, with the proceeds to be placed in a separate non-lapsing account.    It is assumed these new fees will not be needed at this time.
