135.72 AUTHORITY TO ADOPT RULES.
The department shall adopt, with approval of the council, such
administrative rules as are necessary to enable it to implement this
division. These rules shall include:
1. Additional procedures and criteria for review of applications
for certificates of need.
2. Uniform procedures for variations in application of criteria
specified by section 135.64 for use in formal review of applications
for certificates of need, when such variations are appropriate to the
purpose of a particular review or to the type of institutional health
service proposed in the application being reviewed.
3. Uniform procedures for summary reviews conducted under section
135.67.
4. Criteria for determining when it is not feasible to complete
formal review of an application for a certificate of need within the
time limits specified in section 135.69. The rules adopted under
this subsection shall include criteria for determining whether an
application proposes introduction of technologically innovative
equipment, and if so, procedures to be followed in reviewing the
application. However, a rule adopted under this subsection shall not
permit a deferral of more than sixty days beyond the time when a
decision is required under section 135.69, unless both the applicant
and the department agree to a longer deferment. Section History: Early Form
