        • Conn. Certificate-Of-Need Law Will Bring Greater Efficiency

        "Conn. Certificate-Of-Need Law Will Bring Greater Efficiency," co-authored by Michael G. Lisitano, Erin C. Turkis and Conor O. Duffy, published in Law360 Expert Analysis (7/6/2023)

        The article summarizes legislation signed by Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont on June 27, 2023, Public Act 23-171, “An Act Protecting Patients and Prohibiting Unnecessary Health Care Costs” (“the Act”). The Act, a result of collaboration between the Governor, Legislature, Connecticut Hospital Association and other stakeholders, reflects state efforts to streamline the potentially lengthy Certificate-of- Need (CON) process, and impose more exacting deadlines on the Office of Health Strategy (OHS) in certain circumstances, while also expanding OHS’s ability to investigate and penalize noncompliance with CON laws and CON agreed settlements, and to address complicated health care issues raised in CONs.

          Conor Duffy, Michael Lisitano and Erin Howard Co-Author Law360 Expert Analysis Article on Changes to Connecticut Certificate of Need Laws

          Health Law Group lawyers Conor O. Duffy, Michael G. Lisitano and Erin C. Howard co-authored the “Expert Analysis” article, “Conn. Certificate-Of-Need Law Will Bring Greater Efficiency,” published in Law360 on July 6, 2023. The article summarizes legislation signed by Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont on June 27, 2023, Public Act 23-171, “An Act Protecting Patients and Prohibiting Unnecessary Health Care Costs” (“the Act”). The Act, a result of collaboration between the Governor, Legislature, Connecticut Hospital Association and other stakeholders, reflects state efforts to streamline the potentially lengthy Certificate-of- Need (CON) process, and impose more exacting deadlines on the Office of Health Strategy (OHS) in certain circumstances, while also expanding OHS’s ability to investigate and penalize noncompliance with CON laws and CON agreed settlements, and to address complicated health care issues raised in CONs. 

          Among numerous updates, the Act implements changes to public notice requirements, imposes new process deadlines on OHS, newly allows OHS to utilize expert consultations when considering certain applications, expands OHS authority to investigate and imposes penalties for non-compliance with CON requirements, and clarifies certain longstanding CON applicability requirements.
