Expands New Jersey's certificate of need exemption list.

This bill expands New Jersey's certificate of need (CON) exemption list by adding specific protections for neonatal care services. It exempts hospitals providing inpatient maternity services from needing state approval when adding intermediate/intensive bassinets or increasing their neonatal care level designation (e.g., upgrading from basic to specialized care), regardless of existing CON status. However, reductions in bassinets or lower neonatal care designations still require CON approval. The change directly affects hospitals operating maternity units seeking to expand or enhance neonatal services. This policy simplifies regulatory steps for these specific expansions without altering other CON requirements.
