SF118 extends the current moratorium on any construction of radiation therapy facilities within the following counties: Hennepin; Ramsey; Dakota; Washington; Anoka; Carver; Scott; St. Louis; Sherburne; Benton; Stearns; Chisago; Isanti; and Wright. Currently the moratorium expires on August 1, 2014. This would extend the moratorium until December, 31, 2020.
SF118 also changes one of the requirements for the construction of a radiation therapy facility within the counties listed after the expiration of the moratorium by requiring that the new radiation therapy facility be located outside of a 15-mile radius of any existing radiation therapy facility. Currently, the requirement is that the new radiation therapy facility must be located at least 7 miles from any existing radiation therapy facility.
