Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. § 1. Notwithstanding the provisions of § 32.1-102.3:2 or the provisions of any current Request For Applications (RFAs) issued by the Commissioner of Health pursuant to § 32.1-102.3:2, the Commissioner of Health shall reissue a Request For Applications for sixty new nursing home or nursing facility beds in Planning District 11 when (i) pursuant to the 1997 determination of a 240-nursing home bed need in Planning District 11 and the issuance by the Commissioner of Health of the formal legal notice of Request For Certificate of Public Need Applications, a certificate of public need for sixty new nursing home or nursing facility beds was issued to an existing nursing home in Planning District 11, and (ii) the sixty-bed certificate of public need issued pursuant to the 1997 Request For Applications for Planning District 11 to such nursing home has been formally surrendered by the company owning such nursing home because of lack of the requisite financing.

The Commissioner shall authorize and accept applications for such sixty nursing home or nursing facility beds and may issue one or more certificates of public need for an increase of such sixty new beds in which nursing facility or extended care services are to be provided to existing facilities within Planning District 11. The Commissioner shall give preference in reissuing any certificate of public need for these sixty beds to facilities located in a rapid-growth area of Planning District 11, having 30 percent of the population of Planning District 11 that typically needs nursing home care but only 11 percent of the nursing facility beds in Planning District 11.
