SF0057H3001

This amendment changes two discretionary provisions to mandatory requirements in the hospital price transparency monitoring and enforcement framework.

• Changes the department's authority to monitor facility compliance from discretionary ('may') to mandatory ('shall'), making monitoring of hospitals' compliance with price transparency requirements a requirement rather than an option. (Page 10, line 6)
• Changes the department's authority to impose civil penalties from discretionary ('may') to mandatory ('shall'), requiring the department to impose penalties when facilities fail to respond to violation notices or comply with corrective action plans within specified timeframes. (Page 13, line 3)
