442.362 Reporting of proposed capital projects by hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers. The Oregon Health Authority may adopt rules requiring reporting entities within the state to publicly report proposed capital projects. Rules adopted under this section must:

(1) Require a reporting entity to establish on the home page of its website a prominently labeled link to information about proposed or pending capital projects. The information posted must include but is not limited to a report of the community benefit for the project, its estimated cost and a means for interested persons to submit comments. When a reporting entity posts the information required under this subsection, the reporting entity must notify the authority of the posting in the manner prescribed by the authority.

(2) If a reporting entity does not have a website, require the reporting entity to publish notice of the proposed capital project in a major newspaper or online equivalent serving the region in which the proposed capital project will be located. The notice must include but is not limited to a report of the community benefit for the project, its estimated cost and a means for interested persons to submit comments. When a reporting entity publishes the information required under this subsection, the reporting entity must notify the authority of the publication in the manner prescribed by the authority.

(3) Establish a publicly available resource for information collected under this section. [2009 c.595 §1198; 2015 c.318 §30]

(3) Civil penalties imposed under this section shall be imposed as provided in ORS 183.745.

(4) Civil penalties imposed under this section may be remitted or mitigated upon such terms and conditions as the authority considers proper and consistent with the public health and safety.
