Legislative Committee on Health Care
The primary responsibilities of the Legislative Committee on Health Care (LCHC) are set forth in Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) 439B.220 through 439B.227. These responsibilities include reviewing and evaluating the quality and effectiveness of programs for the prevention of illness and analyzing the overall system of medical care in the State to determine how to coordinate the provision of services, avoid duplication, and achieve the most efficient use of all available resources. The LCHC also may review health insurance issues, and may examine hospital-related issues, medical malpractice issues, and the health education system. Additionally, pursuant to NRS 439B.225, the LCHC is responsible for reviewing certain health care regulations.
This committee meets in the interim between sessions; its work culminates in the submission of up to 10 Bill Draft Requests for consideration during the next legislative session.
