IC 16-29-2-7: Ownership interest in certificates of need; transfer or alienation

Sec. 7. The individual, partnership, corporation, or other legal entity to whom a certificate of need has been granted after the review and approval required by this chapter is the owner of the certificate of need until the individual or legal entity transfers or alienates that ownership interest in the certificate. Unless the certificate of need expires or is voided, the issued certificate of need is the personal property of the owner and is freely transferable or alienable, except that the certificate of need may not be used outside of the county with respect to which the certificate was issued.
