Gov. Tate Reeves vetoes legislation reforming CON laws, cites willingness to negotiate with lawmakers
SUMMARY: Governor Tate Reeves has vetoed House Bill 569, intended to reform Mississippi’s certificate of need (CON) laws, which require healthcare providers to obtain government approval for significant expenditures. The bill aimed to raise the expenditure thresholds and assess exemptions for small hospitals regarding dialysis centers. Reeves opposed it due to a late amendment by Senator Hob Bryan, which he argued violated the separation of powers and interfered with ongoing litigation involving specific hospitals. While Reeves supports CON reform, he insists that any changes must be equally applied. He may address the issue in an upcoming special session focused on the state budget.
