Committee favors H.96 to raise certificate-of-need monetary thresholds; vote reported
Summary
The committee voted to favorably report draft 1.3 of H.96, which would raise monetary thresholds for certificates of need and could reduce case volume and fee revenue for the Green Mountain Care Board.
The Senate committee voted to favorably report draft 1.3 of H.96, a health-and-welfare bill that would increase the monetary thresholds for certificate-of-need reviews.
A committee member moved to report H.96 (draft 1.3, dated 04/08/2025) favorably. Committee discussion noted the change could reduce the number of cases before the Green Mountain Care Board and thus reduce fee revenue for that board; committee staff and the board had not raised a blocking concern during the hearing.
The roll call recorded the following yes votes: Senator Brown; Senator Eulich; Senator Beckett; Senator Hardy; Senator Maddox; and Senator Cummings. No nay votes were recorded on the transcript excerpt.
After the vote the chair instructed staff to take the reported copy to the clerk's office and prepare the bill for the next steps in the legislative process.
