What’s in it

Under current law, a health care provider (provider) is required to obtain a certificate of need (CON) from the department of health and human services if the provider plans to offer a new institutional health service or a changed institutional health service. This bill defines “cancer care provider” and exempts cancer care providers from CON requirements.
