SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Certificate of Public Need; relocation of certain nursing home beds under limited circumstances.  Establishes criteria for limited relocation of nursing home beds for facilities under common ownership and control, if required criteria are met relating to occupancy rates, temporary staffing hours, and the origin of residents. The facility wishing to relocate beds must notify the Commissioner of Health of its intent to relocate the beds and the Commissioner is required to determine eligibility for the relocation and notify in writing the facility of his determination within 30 days of receipt of the notice of intent to relocate. The definition of "project" in the certificate of public need law must not constitute such relocations of nursing home beds.
