An Act requiring hospital to maintain services

This bill requires licensed hospitals to maintain all services listed in their license. If a hospital must pause or divert patient services on three or more occasions in a single year due to inability to provide required services, the state health department must hold a public hearing in that community. The department then has the sole discretion to consider corrective actions, including revoking the hospital's license. This directly affects hospitals that repeatedly fail to meet their licensed service requirements. The law creates a specific process for addressing recurring service disruptions at healthcare facilities.
