This morning, the House passed two bills.
House Bill 4274 renames the DHHR in various sections of code to the three succeeding departments, the Department of Human Services, the Department of Health, and the Department of Health Facilities. It also renames bureaus with name changes. The bill also updates some outdated language. The chair clarified no policy changes were made as this bill affects several sections of code. It is only name changes and code clean-up.
House Bill 4433 exempts mobile facilities using mammography or tomography from certificate of need for operations. These services screen for cancer. By removing the CON, the hope is to provide these services to diagnose cancer before it reaches a higher stage.
