The purpose of the amendments is to update the requirements so they are in concert with current healthcare standards and to align them more closely with current federal requirements.

 

Due to the extensive number of amendments, the Division of Public Health has repealed and replaced the current regulations in their entirety with the proposed regulations.

 

Comments on the proposed revisions must be submitted by Jan. 30.
