§ 1908. Rules; exceptions
(a) The licensing agency shall adopt and enforce rules and standards with respect to the
different types of hospitals to be licensed under this chapter as may be designed
to further the accomplishment of the purposes set forth in this chapter; such rules
and standards shall be modified, amended, or rescinded from time to time by the licensing
agency as may be in the public interest.
(b) No such rules and standards shall be adopted or enforced that would have the effect
of denying a license to a hospital solely by reason of the school or system of practice
employed or permitted to be employed by physicians therein, provided that such school
or system of practice is recognized by the laws of the State. Provided, however, that
no rule or requirement shall be made under this chapter for any hospital conducted
for those who rely upon treatment by spiritual means or prayer in accordance with
the creed or tenets of any recognized church or religious denomination, except as
to the sanitary and safe condition of the premises, cleanliness of operation, and
its physical equipment. (Amended 2015, No. 23, § 106; 2023, No. 6, § 131, eff. July 1, 2023.)
