HOUSE BILL NO. 175 

Offered January 10, 2018 

Prefiled December 22, 2017 

A BILL to make certain hospital licenses effective until 
 December 1, 2018. 
---------- 

Patron-- Poindexter 

---------- 

Referred to Committee on Health, Welfare and Institutions 

---------- 

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. � 1. 
 That, notwithstanding any other provision of law, any 
 license issued to an acute care hospital 
 located in Patrick County 
 that was valid on September 1, 2017, 
 and remained valid on December 31, 2017, 
 despite the closure of such hospital prior to December 31, 2017, shall continue 
 to remain valid until December 31, 2018.

� 2. 
 That, notwithstanding the requirements of � 32.1-102.3 of the 
 Code of Virginia and regulations of the Board of Health, 
 the recommencement of any project by an 
 acute care hospital located in Patrick County that occurs as the result of the 
 closure of an existing licensed hospital for which a 
 certificate was previously issued or for which no 
 certificate was required at the 
 time at which the project was first commenced, and the 
 subsequent sale and reestablishment of such hospital where 
 such recommencement of such project occurs within one year of the date on which 
 such hospital closed, shall 
 not constitute a project for the purposes of issuance of a certificate of 
 public need, and no certificate 
 of public need shall be required for the recommencement of 
 such project. However, any conditions imposed on any 
 such certificate issued to the 
 existing licensed hospital prior to 
 its closure, sale, or reestablishment 
 shall continue to be in effect until such time as the conditions are satisfied 
 or a new certificate is 
 issued for the hospital.

2. That the provisions of this act shall be effective 
 retroactively to December 31, 2017.

3. That an emergency exists and this act is in force from its 
 passage.
