Sec. 19a-639e. Submission of late or incomplete data. Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 19a-486 to 19a-486h, inclusive, section 19a-638, 19a-639 or any
other provision of this chapter, the Office of Health Care Access may refuse to accept
as filed or submitted a letter of intent or a certificate of need application from any person
or health care facility or institution that failed to submit any required data or information,
or has filed any required data or information that is incomplete or not filed in a timely
fashion. Prior to any refusal and accompanying moratorium under the provisions of this
section, the Commissioner of Health Care Access shall notify the person or health care
facility or institution, in writing, and such notice shall identify the data or information
that was not received and the data or information that is incomplete in any respect. Such
person or health care facility or institution shall have twenty-one days from the date of
mailing the notice to provide the commissioner with the required data or information.
Such refusal and related moratorium on accepting a letter of intent or a certificate of
need application may remain in effect, at the discretion of the Commissioner of Health
Care Access, until the office determines that all required data or information has been
submitted. The commissioner shall have twenty-one days to notify the person or health
care facility or institution submitting the data and information whether or not the letter
of intent or certificate of need application is refused. Nothing in this section shall preclude or limit the office from taking any other action authorized by law concerning late,
incomplete or inaccurate data submission in addition to such a refusal and accompanying
moratorium.
