SB 932, as introduced, Anderson. General acute care hospitals: supplemental or special services.
Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of health facilities, including general acute care hospitals, by the State Department of Public Health. Existing law prohibits a general acute care hospital, as defined, from holding itself out as providing a service that requires a supplemental or special service unless the hospital has first obtained approval from the department to operate that service.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
