Health facilities: licensing.

Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of health facilities administered by the State Department of Public Health. A violation of these provisions is a crime. Existing law requires any person, political subdivision of the state, or governmental agency desiring a license for a health facility, approval for a specified special service, or approval to manage specified types of licensed health facilities, that has not filed an application for a license to operate that facility, to file with the department a verified application on forms prescribed and furnished by the department, containing specified information. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes in those provisions prescribing the information required to be contained in an application for licensure.
