641—201.27 (135,75GA,ch158) Decision.
	 201.27(1) Approval or disapproval. The department shall issue a written decision approving or disapproving the application within 45 days after receipt of the application or, in the case of a contested hearing, within 10 days of receipt of the administrative law judge’s recommendation. The department may condition approval on a modification of all or part of the proposed arrangement to eliminate any restriction on competition that is not reasonably related to the goals of reducing cost or improving access or quality. The department may also establish conditions for approval that are reasonably necessary to protect against abuses of private economic power and to ensure that the arrangement is appropriately supervised and regulated by the state.
	 201.27(2) Findings of fact. The department’s decision shall make specific findings of fact concerning the cost, access, and quality criteria, and identify one or more of those criteria as the basis for the decision.
	 201.27(3) Data for supervision. A decision approving an application shall require the periodic submission of specific data relating to cost, access, and quality, and to the extent feasible, identify objective standards of cost, access, and quality by which the success of the arrangement will be measured. However, if the department determines that the scope of a particular proposed arrangement is such that the arrangement is certain to have neither a positive nor negative impact on one or two of the criteria, the department’s decision need not require the submission of data or establish an objective standard relating to those criteria.
