This bill would allow certain local governments to request a streamlined review process for certificates of need, which are approvals required before certain health care facilities or services can be established. It sets a 30-day deadline for that review to be completed. It also removes a section of state law that outlines the original legislative findings and purpose behind Kentucky's certificate of need program. Who it may affect: local governments seeking to establish or expand health care services in their communities.
