Colorado Hospital Association Sues State Over New Rules
June 01, 2010
The Colorado Hospital Association filed a lawsuit against new state regulations on off-campus sites and hospital expansions, according to a report by the Denver Business Journal.
The association said it would be too costly to comply with a new state regulation that off-campus sites comply with Life Safety Code requirements.
The association is also contesting a new rule that allows the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to deny hospitals' requests for increases in their licensed capacity.
