AB 2282: Health facilities: emergency medical services.

<p>The bill requires the California Department of Public Health to issue a special permit to Del Puerto Healthcare District, allowing it to operate one rural emergency stabilization center without meeting all general acute care hospital licensure requirements. The permit issuance is contingent upon the healthcare district entering into and maintaining written transport and transfer agreements with nearby hospitals within a 30-mile radius that have licensed emergency departments. The term of this special permit would be limited based on specific factors, including the construction and operation of a new general acute care hospital in the area. Additionally, the authorization for the stabilization center would expire one year after its operations cease.</p>
