HB 5511 Summary

• Removes exemption from the Administrative Procedures Act for Certificate of Need Commission items (medical equipment designations, review standards, data reporting requirements, and regional agency standards).

• Changes language throughout the act from "shall" to "must" for consistency with modern drafting standards.

• Updates section 28 cross-references to reflect the renumbering of policy exemptions caused by removal of the Certificate of Need Commission exemption.

• Requires the electronic notice for proposed contracts and policies to be sent to the office handling regulatory matters rather than specifically the "office of regulatory reform."

• Takes effect 90 days after enactment and is contingent on Senate Bill or House Bill 5510 being enacted into law.
