CON; remove end-stage renal disease facilities from application of law.

HB 430 removes end-stage renal disease (ESRD) treatment facilities from Mississippi's Certificate of Need (CON) law requirements. This bill amends Section 41-7-173 of the Mississippi Code to exclude ESRD facilities from needing state approval for new services, expansions, or major equipment purchases under the health care CON process. The change directly affects dialysis centers and specialized kidney treatment facilities by eliminating their requirement to obtain a certificate of need before making capital investments or expanding services. This simplifies regulatory requirements for these facilities without altering other CON law provisions.
