|
The bill provides
an exception to the certificate of need requirement for a health care
facility in certain cases of change in ownership. This will reduce the number
of certificate of need application requests, reducing Other Special Revenue
Funds revenue from application fees. With fewer certificates of need to
process, the Department of Health and Human Services will incur Other Special
Revenue Funds cost savings. No estimate is made of the amount of any revenue
decrease or of cost savings at this time, but given that the fees were
designed to offset the costs, any net fiscal impact to the program is not
expected to be significant. |
