§ 41-7-207. Emergency replacement of facilities; expedited review.
 

Notwithstanding any other provisions of Sections 41-7-171 through 41-7-209, when the need for any emergency replacement occurs, the certificate of need review process may be expedited by promulgation of administrative procedures for expenditures necessary to alleviate an emergency condition. Emergency replacement means the replacement of partial facilities or equipment the replacement of which is not exempt from certificate of need review pursuant to the medical equipment replacement exemption provided in Section 41-7-191(1) (f), without which the operation of the facility and the health and safety of patients would be immediately jeopardized. Expenditures under this section shall be limited to the replacement of those necessary facilities or equipment, the loss of which constitutes an emergency.
