The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6555, aims to amend section 19a-639a of the general statutes to create an expedited certificate of need approval process specifically for the acquisition of new life-saving technologies. This includes, but is not limited to, whole-body magnetic resonance imaging machines. The intent of the bill is to facilitate and promote the adoption of these critical technologies in the healthcare sector.

The bill introduces new legal language that establishes this expedited process, thereby streamlining the approval requirements for healthcare providers seeking to acquire advanced medical equipment. There are no deletions from the current law mentioned in the text, indicating that the bill focuses solely on the addition of the expedited approval process.
