Expands New Jersey's certificate of need exemption list.

This bill expands New Jersey's certificate of need (CON) exemptions for healthcare facilities, specifically affecting hospitals providing inpatient maternity services. It exempts a 25% increase in intermediate/intensive bassinets (baby beds) and an upgrade in neonatal care level (e.g., from Level II to Level III), unless the facility is a designated regional perinatal center or reducing beds. The Department of Health must revise its CON process for neonatal expansions within 180 days to better align with parent needs and reduce patient transfers between hospitals. The exemption applies only to expansions, not reductions or changes at regional perinatal centers.
