This bill is the result of recommendations made by the Joint Sunset Committee and makes several amendments to Title 16 relating to the Delaware Health Resources Board (“Board”). The number of Board members has been reduced from 21 to 15. For administrative and budgetary purposes, the Board is relocated to the Office of the Secretary, Department of Health and Social Services (“DHSS”). The Board will now function in cooperation with the Delaware Health Care Commission(“DHCC”), and the DHCC will be responsible for the administration and staffing of the Board. When revising the Health Resources Management Plan (“Plan”), the Board will be required to conduct a public hearing and will establish rules and regulations for reviewing Certificate of Public Review applications. The Board will be required to submit the Plan to the DHCC and, upon its approval, must then be submitted to DHSS for approval. The Governor may remove any Board member for gross inefficiency, neglect of duty, malfeasance, misfeasance or nonfeasance in office.
