AN ACT ESTABLISHING A UNIFORM STATE LICENSING PROCESS FOR PRIVATE COMMUNITY-BASED PROVIDERS.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:
That chapter 368a of the general statutes be amended to require the Department of Public Health, in consultation with other state agencies, to create a one-stop licensing process that permits private community-based providers and nonprofits to obtain licensure from numerous health-related agencies, including the Departments of Mental Health and Addiction Services, Children and Families, and Social Services through completion of a single application.
Statement of Purpose:
To ease the licensure burden currently faced by private providers who are required to file duplicative applications for multiple state agencies and achieve efficiencies and cost reductions in administrative expenses for both the state and the private providers.
