Hospital Facilities Rules
The proposed repeal of 29 rules in Subchapter 10A NCAC 13B, Licensing of Hospitals, is in response to enactment of Session Law 2017-174, Senate Bill 42, Section 1.(b) that became effective July 21, 2017. The provisions in this act require the Hospital Facilities Rules to be repealed within 120 days after the act becomes law. These rules are being repealed because the legislature eliminated the need for these rules, as the Session Law specifies for additional temporary and permanent rulemaking replacing the rules with requirements of the Facilities Guidelines Institute (FGI), Guidelines for the Design and Construction of Hospitals so that licensed hospitals in North Carolina are designed and constructed in compliance with a national standard of practice.

- 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.
