Hospital Rules
Pursuant to G.S. 150B-21.3A, Periodic Review and Expiration of Existing Rules, all rules are reviewed at least every 10 years, or they shall expire. As a result of the periodic review of Subchapter 10A NCAC 13B, Licensing of Hospitals, these 14 proposed readoption rules were part of the 40 rules determined as “Necessary With Substantive Public Interest,” requiring readoption. Five rules are proposed for readoption with substantive changes to update standard of practice, revise requirements and clarify language, address Rules Review Commission historical objections, add references to General Statutes, add and update references to NC Administrative Code rules, and address technical changes. Eight rules are proposed for readoption without substantive changes to address technical changes and clarify language, reorganize format of rule text, update agency names and NC Administrative Code rule references in the rules. One rule is proposed for repeal due to requirements being addressed in another rule in the Subchapter, therefore the rule is no longer necessary.
