HB 374 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

HEALTH CARE/FACILITIES: Provides relative to facility need review (EN SEE FISC NOTE SG RV)

This bill modifies a facility need review process to exclude healthcare providers that specialize in services for women and adolescents from specific requirements. The change applies to facilities undergoing a review of their operational needs, ensuring these specialized providers are not subject to the same regulations as others. By removing the word "providers" and adding an exception clause, the legislation narrows the scope of entities that must comply with the review. This adjustment directly affects healthcare organizations offering reproductive or adolescent health care, altering how they interact with state facility standards.
