Georgia senators began examining on Tuesday whether the state should still require permits to build health care facilities. The review comes after a push to loosen the rules mushroomed into a House-Senate standoff during this year’s legislative session. The first meeting made clear that many committee members appointed by Lt. Gov. Burt Jones want a full or partial repeal of Georgia’s certificate of need rules.

The formerly Fargo-based Red River Women's Clinic moved to neighboring Moorhead, Minnesota, where abortion is legal.
