Hospitals and Health Care Facilities - As introduced, increases from 15 to 30 days, the time before the originally scheduled health facilities commission meeting at which an applicant's certificate of need application is to be heard by the commission by which a healthcare institution wishing to oppose such application must file written notice with the commission, and about which the applicant's published letter of intent in a newspaper of general circulation in the proposed service area of the project must contain a statement of notice. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 33; Title 56; Title 63; Title 68, Title 71 and Chapter 985 of the Public Acts of 2024.
HB 2558 extends the deadline for healthcare facilities to file written opposition to new facility applications from 15 to 30 days before a commission hearing. This affects hospitals or healthcare institutions seeking to build or expand in Tennessee, as they must now give opponents more time to respond. The bill amends Tennessee law to require that public notices about proposed projects include a statement about this extended notice period. The change takes effect on July 1, 2026.
