Requires hospitals to maintain minimum services when relocating from underserved community.

This bill requires hospitals approved to relocate from underserved communities to maintain minimum services at their original location. Specifically, it mandates that hospitals must keep all required professional departments, inpatient beds, and core services (as defined by state regulations) at their original site under the same license. It applies to hospitals relocating from areas meeting specific medical need criteria, including those designated as medically underserved by federal and state standards. The law takes effect immediately and applies retroactively to relocations approved within the prior 12 months.
