The bill proposes the repeal of a requirement for the Department of Health and the Department of Human Services to submit an annual written report and testify before the Senate and House standing committees on health and human services. This requirement pertains to the consideration of additional nursing facility beds or new nursing facilities, as well as long-term healthcare needs.

Specifically, the bill seeks to eliminate the legal obligation that mandates these departments to provide updates and insights regarding nursing facilities and long-term care, thereby streamlining the reporting process and potentially reducing the administrative burden on these departments.
