35-24-112. Final decision; conditions for approval; findings; ongoing supervision and reporting; renewal fees.

(a) The director shall issue a written decision approving or disapproving the application.

(b) The director 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 director 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.

(c) The decision by the director approving or disapproving an application shall include specific findings of fact concerning cost, access and quality criteria and shall identify one (1) or more of these criteria as the basis for the decision.

(d) The decision to approve an application shall require periodic submission of specific data by the applicant relating to cost, access and quality and to the extent feasible, the applicant shall identify objective standards of cost, access and quality by which the success of the arrangement will be measured. If the director determines that the scope of a particular proposed arrangement is such that the arrangement is certain to have neither a positive or negative impact on any one (1) of the criteria, the director may not require the submission of data or establish an objective standard relating to that criteria. An applicant shall submit a renewal fee together with information required under this subsection, in an amount determined by the department subject to limitations imposed under W.S. 35-24-104(d). Revenues from fees collected shall be deposited into the account established under W.S. 35-24-104(d).
