The bill amends Section 23-15-10 of the General Laws concerning the application fees for the certificate of need program within the Department of Health. It establishes that the application fees shall be limited to a total of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) and specifies that all application fees are non-refundable. The bill does not include a detailed fee structure for different types of applications, as was previously suggested. Additionally, it mandates that all fees collected pursuant to this chapter shall be deposited into the general fund. This act will take effect upon passage.
