(B) For the purpose of implementing this section, the director shall do all of the following: (1) Not later than October 1, 2023, and every two years thereafter, determine the long-term care bed supply for each county, which shall consist of all of the following: (a) Nursing home beds licensed under Chapter 3721. of the Revised Code; (b) Beds certified as skilled nursing facility beds under the medicare program or nursing facility beds under the medicaid program; (c) Beds in any portion of a hospital that are properly reported in an application submitted under section 3722.03 of the Revised Code as skilled nursing beds, long-term care beds, or special skilled nursing beds; (d) Beds in a county home or county nursing home that are certified under section 5155.38 of the Revised Code as having been in operation on July 1, 1993, and are eligible for licensure as nursing home beds; (e) Beds described in division (O)(5) of section 3702.51 of the Revised Code. (2) Determine the long-term care bed occupancy rate for the state at the time the determination is made; (3) For each county, determine the county's bed need by identifying the number of long-term care beds that would be needed in the county in order for the statewide occupancy rate for a projected population aged sixty-five and older to be ninety per cent. In determining each county's bed need, the director shall use the formula developed in rules adopted under section 3702.57 of the Revised Code. A determination shall be made not later than October 1, 2023, and every two years thereafter. After each determination is made, the director shall publish the county's bed need on the web site maintained by the department of health. (C) The director's consideration of an application for a certificate of need that would increase the number of beds in a county shall be consistent with the county's bed need determined under division (B) of this section, except as follows: (1)(a) Except as provided in division (C)(1)(b) of this section, if a county's occupancy rate is less than eighty-five per cent, the county shall be considered to have no need for additional beds. (b) Division (C)(1)(a) of this section does not apply, such that a county shall be considered to have a need for additional beds regardless of its occupancy rate, if all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) The county has at least sixty fewer long-term care beds than the county's bed need. (ii) The application for a certificate of need is for the approval of beds in a new long-term care facility or an increase of beds in an existing long-term care facility, and the beds are proposed to be licensed as nursing home beds under Chapter 3721. of the Revised Code. (iii) The additional beds will be located in category one private rooms, as that term is defined in section 5165.158 of the Revised Code. (2) Even if a county is determined not to need any additional long-term care beds, the director may approve an increase in beds equal to up to ten per cent of the county's bed supply if the county's occupancy rate is greater than ninety per cent. (D)(1) For the review process used in considering certificate of need applications, the director shall establish a review period that begins January 1, 2020, and ends December 31, 2023. Thereafter, the review period for each review process shall begin on the first day of January following the end of the previous review period and shall be two years. (2) Certificate of need applications shall be accepted during the first month of the review period and reviewed through the thirtieth day of September of the year in which the review period begins. (E) The director shall consider certificate of need applications in accordance with all of the following: (1) The number of beds approved for a county shall include only beds available for relocation from another county and shall not exceed the bed need of the receiving county. (2) The director shall consider the existence of community resources serving persons who are age sixty-five or older or disabled that are demonstrably effective in providing alternatives to long-term care facility placement. (3) The director shall approve relocation of beds from a county only if, after the relocation, the number of beds remaining in the county will exceed the county's bed need by at least fifty beds. (F) Applications made under this section are subject to comparative review if two or more applications are submitted during the same review period and any of the following applies: (1) The applications propose to relocate beds from the same county and the number of beds for which certificates of need are being requested totals more than the number of beds available in the county from which the beds are to be relocated. (2) The applications propose to relocate beds to the same county and the number of beds for which certificates of need are being requested totals more than the number of beds needed in the county to which the beds are to be relocated. (G) In determining which applicants should receive preference in the comparative review process, the director shall consider all of the following as weighted priorities: (1) Whether the beds will be part of a continuing care retirement community; (2) Whether the beds will serve an underserved population, such as low-income individuals, individuals with disabilities, or individuals who are members of racial or ethnic minority groups; (3) Whether the project in which the beds will be included will provide alternatives to institutional care, such as adult day-care, home health care, respite or hospice care, mobile meals, residential care, independent living, or congregate living services; (4) Whether the long-term care facility's owner or operator will participate in medicaid waiver programs for alternatives to institutional care; (5) Whether the project in which the beds will be included will reduce alternatives to institutional care by converting residential care beds or other alternative care beds to long-term care beds; (6) Whether the facility in which the beds will be placed has positive resident and family satisfaction surveys; (7) Whether the facility in which the beds will be placed has fewer than fifty long-term care beds; (8) Whether the long-term care facility in which the beds will be placed is located within the area served by a hospital and is designed to accept patients for rehabilitation after an in-patient hospital stay; (9) Whether the long-term care facility in which the beds will be placed is or proposes to become a nurse aide training and testing site; (10) The rating, under the centers for medicare and medicaid services' five star nursing home quality rating system, of the long-term care facility in which the beds will be placed. (H) A person who has submitted an application under this section that is not subject to comparative review may revise the site of the proposed project pursuant to section 3702.522 of the Revised Code.

Status: in_force

March 20, 2025 Senate Bill 196 - 135th General Assembly (A) Except as provided in this section or section 3701.248 of the Revised Code, no person or agency of state or local government that acquires the information while providing any health care service or while in the employ of a health care facility or health care provider shall disclose or compel another to disclose any of the following: (1) The identity of any individual on whom an HIV test is performed; (2) The results of an HIV test in a form that identifies the individual tested; (3) The identity of any individual diagnosed as having AIDS or an AIDS-related condition. (B)(1) Except as provided in divisions (B)(2), (C), (D), and (F) of this section, the results of an HIV test or the identity of an individual on whom an HIV test is performed or who is diagnosed as having AIDS or an AIDS-related condition may be disclosed only to the following: (a) The individual who was tested or the individual's legal guardian, and the individual's spouse or any sexual partner; (b) A person to whom disclosure is authorized by a written release, executed by the individual tested or by the individual's legal guardian and specifying to whom disclosure of the test results or diagnosis is authorized and the time period during which the release is to be effective; (c) Any physician, certified nurse-midwife, clinical nurse specialist, or certified nurse practitioner who treats the individual; (d) The department of health or a health commissioner to which reports are made under section 3701.24 of the Revised Code; (e) A health care facility or provider that procures, processes, distributes, or uses a human body part from a deceased individual, donated for a purpose specified in Chapter 2108. of the Revised Code, and that needs medical information about the deceased individual to ensure that the body part is medically acceptable for its intended purpose; (f) Health care facility staff committees or accreditation or oversight review organizations conducting program monitoring, program evaluation, or service reviews; (g) A health care provider, emergency medical services worker, or peace officer who sustained a significant exposure to the body fluids of another individual, if that individual was tested pursuant to division (E)(6) of section 3701.242 of the Revised Code, except that the identity of the individual tested shall not be revealed; (h) To law enforcement authorities pursuant to a search warrant or a subpoena issued by or at the request of a grand jury, a prosecuting attorney, a city director of law or similar chief legal officer of a municipal corporation, or a village solicitor, in connection with a criminal investigation or prosecution. (2) The results of an HIV test or a diagnosis of AIDS or an AIDS-related condition may be disclosed to a health care provider, or an authorized agent or employee of a health care facility or a health care provider, if the provider, agent, or employee has a medical need to know the information and is participating in the diagnosis, care, or treatment of the individual on whom the test was performed or who has been diagnosed as having AIDS or an AIDS-related condition. This division does not impose a standard of disclosure different from the standard for disclosure of all other specific information about a patient to health care providers and facilities. Disclosure may not be requested or made solely for the purpose of identifying an individual who has a positive HIV test result or has been diagnosed as having AIDS or an AIDS-related condition in order to refuse to treat the individual. Referral of an individual to another health care provider or facility based on reasonable professional judgment does not constitute refusal to treat the individual. (3) Not later than ninety days after November 1, 1989, each health care facility in this state shall establish a protocol to be followed by employees and individuals affiliated with the facility in making disclosures authorized by division (B)(2) of this section. A person employed by or affiliated with a health care facility who determines in accordance with the protocol established by the facility that a disclosure is authorized by division (B)(2) of this section is immune from liability to any person in a civil action for damages for injury, death, or loss to person or property resulting from the disclosure. (C)(1) Any person or government agency may seek access to or authority to disclose the HIV test records of an individual in accordance with the following provisions: (a) The person or government agency shall bring an action in a court of common pleas requesting disclosure of or authority to disclose the results of an HIV test of a specific individual, who shall be identified in the complaint by a pseudonym but whose name shall be communicated to the court confidentially, pursuant to a court order restricting the use of the name. The court shall provide the individual with notice and an opportunity to participate in the proceedings if the individual is not named as a party. Proceedings shall be conducted in chambers unless the individual agrees to a hearing in open court. (b) The court may issue an order granting the plaintiff access to or authority to disclose the test results only if the court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the plaintiff has demonstrated a compelling need for disclosure of the information that cannot be accommodated by other means. In assessing compelling need, the court shall weigh the need for disclosure against the privacy right of the individual tested and against any disservice to the public interest that might result from the disclosure, such as discrimination against the individual or the deterrence of others from being tested. (c) If the court issues an order, it shall guard against unauthorized disclosure by specifying the persons who may have access to the information, the purposes for which the information shall be used, and prohibitions against future disclosure. (2) A person or government agency that considers it necessary to disclose the results of an HIV test of a specific individual in an action in which it is a party may seek authority for the disclosure by filing an in camera motion with the court in which the action is being heard. In hearing the motion, the court shall employ procedures for confidentiality similar to those specified in division (C)(1) of this section. The court shall grant the motion only if it finds by clear and convincing evidence that a compelling need for the disclosure has been demonstrated. (3) Except for an order issued in a criminal prosecution or an order under division (C)(1) or (2) of this section granting disclosure of the result of an HIV test of a specific individual, a court shall not compel a blood bank, hospital blood center, or blood collection facility to disclose the result of HIV tests performed on the blood of voluntary donors in a way that reveals the identity of any donor. (4) In a civil action in which the plaintiff seeks to recover damages from an individual defendant based on an allegation that the plaintiff contracted the HIV virus as a result of actions of the defendant, the prohibitions against disclosure in this section do not bar discovery of the results of any HIV test given to the defendant or any diagnosis that the defendant has AIDS or an AIDS-related condition. (D) The results of an HIV test or the identity of an individual on whom an HIV test is performed or who is diagnosed as having AIDS or an AIDS-related condition may be disclosed to a federal, state, or local government agency, or the official representative of such an agency, for purposes of the medicaid program, the medicare program, or any other public assistance program. (E) Any disclosure pursuant to this section shall be in writing and accompanied by a written statement that includes the following or substantially similar language: "This information has been disclosed to you from confidential records protected from disclosure by state law. You shall make no further disclosure of this information without the specific, written, and informed release of the individual to whom it pertains, or as otherwise permitted by state law. A general authorization for the release of medical or other information is not sufficient for the purpose of the release of HIV test results or diagnoses." (F) An individual who knows that the individual has received a positive result on an HIV test or has been diagnosed as having AIDS or an AIDS-related condition shall disclose this information to any other person with whom the individual intends to make common use of a hypodermic needle or engage in sexual conduct as defined in section 2907.01 of the Revised Code. An individual's compliance with this division does not prohibit a prosecution of the individual for a violation of division (B) of section 2903.11 of the Revised Code. (G) Nothing in this section prohibits the introduction of evidence concerning an HIV test of a specific individual in a criminal proceeding. Last updated February 18, 2025 at 5:31 PM

(D) A transient hotel that is constructed or altered on or after the effective date of this section and that wishes to allow transient occupancy under division (A) of this section shall do all of the following: (1) Satisfy any electrical system requirements for transient occupancy in the transient sleeping rooms to be used under this section; (2) With respect to the installation and maintenance of electrical power and lighting circuits in the transient sleeping rooms to be used under this section, install and maintain only twenty amp or greater electrical power and lighting circuits that satisfy the requirements of the state nonresidential building code; (3) Comply with all other requirements of this section.
