SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Medical care facilities; certificate of public need. Requires, notwithstanding the requirements of the Requests For Applications (RFAs) statute or the provisions of any current RFA, the Commissioner of Health to reissue two Requests For Applications. First, the Commissioner is directed to reissue a RFA 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) this sixty-nursing home bed certificate of need has been formally surrendered by the company owning such nursing home because of lack of the requisite financing. The Commissioner must authorize and accept applications for these 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 must also 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. In addition, the Commissioner is directed to reissue a RFA for 120 new nursing home or nursing facility beds in Planning District 13 when (a) pursuant to the 1997 determination of a 240-nursing home bed need in Planning District 13 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 120 new nursing home or nursing facility beds was issued to a for-profit nursing home operating company incorporated in January 1973, and (b) the 120-bed certificate of public need issued in 1997 for Planning District 13 to such nursing home corporation has expired without any construction being started because of lack of the requisite financing. The Commissioner may issue one or more certificates for the 120 new beds in Planning District 13.
