TITLE 31 HEALTH

Section 7. Regulation and Construction of Hospitals and Other Health Care Facilities, 31-7-1 through 31-7-412.

ARTICLE 1 REGULATION OF HOSPITALS AND RELATED INSTITUTIONS

31-7-2. Classification of institutions.

The department shall classify institutions and adopt and promulgate rules and regulations applicable thereto according to the type of services rendered.

(Ga. L. 1946, p. 34, § 1; Ga. L. 1958, p. 322, § 1; Code 1933, § 88-1904, enacted by Ga. L. 1964, p. 499, § 1.)

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Department regulations governing free-standing emergency care clinics violated First Amendment rights of plaintiff physicians since the regulations were more extensive than necessary to serve the governmental interest of prohibiting misleading advertising and were impermissibly vague in providing that facilities which used such terms as "emergency," "crisis," "sudden," "acute" or a similar meaning term fell within the regulatory ambit. Primary Care Physicians Group v. Ledbetter, 634 F. Supp. 78 (N.D. Ga. 1986).

OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Att'y Gen. No. 69-243.
