This bill proposes the repeal of the Nebraska Health Care Certificate of Need Act and aims to eliminate obsolete provisions related to it. Specifically, it amends sections 71-20,103 and 71-20,105 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, harmonizing existing provisions and streamlining the regulatory framework for hospital acquisitions. The bill also includes the outright repeal of numerous sections that are no longer relevant to current health care regulations.

Key changes in the bill include the removal of references to the Nebraska Health Care Certificate of Need Act in the context of hospital acquisitions, allowing for a more straightforward application process under the Nonprofit Hospital Sale Act. Additionally, the definition of "Person" is expanded to include various legal entities, enhancing clarity in the law. The bill ultimately seeks to simplify the regulatory landscape for health care facilities in Nebraska by eliminating unnecessary bureaucratic processes.
