Relating to the issuance of a single license for a hospital and a mobile stroke unit of the hospital.

The bill requires the mobile stroke unit to be accredited by a healthcare organization approved by Medicare and Medicaid (CMS). This change directly affects hospitals operating mobile stroke units, streamlining their licensing process. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, and requires the Health and Human Services Commission to adopt implementing rules after the effective date.
