The CON program is responsible for reviewing CON applications, issuing State Agency Action Reports (SAARs), responding to requests for exemption from CON review, making determinations of non-reviewability, developing Agency rules related to the Certificate of Need program, publishing statewide need for additional hospital, nursing home*, and hospice programs, ensuring the timely implementation of granted certificates of need, and monitoring any conditions placed on the CON.

*Due to a moratorium placed on nursing home beds, this activity has been suspended until Medicaid managed care is implemented statewide or October 1, 2016, whichever is earlier.
