Under current law, before introducing additional health care services and procedures in a market area, a person must apply for and receive a certificate of need from the Department of Health and Human Services. This bill eliminates that requirement by repealing the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 22, chapter 103-A, which includes sections 326
42 to 350-C, and making statutory changes to other provisions of law for consistency with the
43 repeal of chapter 103-A.
