SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

The University of Virginia Medical Center; deemed licensure. Deems the University of Virginia Medical Center to be a licensed hospital for purposes of other law relating to the operation of hospitals licensed by the Board of Health, for so long as the Medical Center maintains its accreditation by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations or any successor in interest thereof. The Medical Center will not be deemed to be a licensed hospital to the extent any law relating to licensure of hospitals specifically excludes the Commonwealth or its agencies. As an agency of the Commonwealth, the Medical Center will remain exempt from licensure by the Board of Health and subject to the provisions of the Virginia Tort Claims Act. The bill states that deemed licensure must not be construed as a waiver of the Commonwealth's sovereign immunity.
