HRS §323D-82
Maintenance of services
This section says that anyone buying or who has bought a hospital cannot cut or stop direct patient care services below the level at the time of purchase unless they first tell the agency in writing and get approval. It is a narrow rule about getting permission before reducing services.

The statute, as written — Maintenance of services
A person who has acquired or is engaged in the acquisition of a hospital shall not substantially reduce or eliminate direct patient care services at the hospital below the levels at which those services were available at the time of the acquisition, without first giving written notice of the planned reduction or elimination to the agency and receiving the agency's approval, prior to implementing the reduction or elimination of services.
