 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 March 31, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sens. WEBB, FERNANDEZ, GOUNARDES, HARCKHAM, HINCHEY, JACK-
 SON, SKOUFIS -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be

 AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to review of projects
 affecting the availability of maternity services

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subparagraph (v) of paragraph (a) of subdivision 2 of
 2 section 2803 of the public health law, as added by chapter 807 of the
 3 laws of 1985, is amended to read as follows:
 4 (v) standards and procedures relating to hospital operating certif-
 5 icates, provided however, that the council shall establish minimum
 6 acceptable standards and procedures equal to the standards and proce-
 7 dures which federal law and regulation require for hospitals to qualify
 8 as providers pursuant to titles XVIII and XIX of the federal social
 9 security act. The existing state standards and procedures in effect on
 10 the date that this subdivision becomes effective shall be deemed to
 11 constitute maximum standards and procedures for purposes of limiting
 12 medical assistance reimbursement pursuant to the social services law.
 13 Such standards and procedures may thereafter be changed or added to by
 14 the council only upon the recommendation of the commissioner. For the
 15 purposes of ensuring that the health and safety of the residents of
 16 hospitals are not endangered, the council may promulgate changes in the
 17 minimum acceptable standards and procedures referred to herein upon
 18 recommendation of the commissioner. Provided, however, the commissioner
 19 shall promulgate regulations requiring that the addition of, decertif-
 20 ication of, or changes in the method of delivery of perinatal services
 21 by a general hospital shall be subject to an application under this
 22 article that requires review and approval by the council, and
 23 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
