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 13 proposed readoption rules were part of the 40 rules determined as “Necessary With Substantive Public Interest,” requiring readoption. With input from stakeholders, eight rules are proposed for readoption with substantive changes to update standard of practice, clarify language, address Rules Review Commission objections, and reference General Statutes. Five rules are proposed for readoption without substantial changes to address technical changes in the rules.

- Procedure for subjecting a proposed rule to Legislative Review: If an objection is not resolved prior to the adoption of the rule, a person may also submit written objections to the Rules Review Commission. If the Rules Review Commission receives written and signed objections in accordance with G.S. 150B-21.3(b2) from 10 or more persons clearly requesting review by the legislature and the Rules Review Commission approves the rule, the rule will become effective as provided in G.S. 150B-21.3(b1) . The Commission will receive written objections until 5:00 p.m. on the day following the day the Commission approves the rule. The Commission will receive those objections by mail, delivery service, hand delivery, or facsimile transmission.
