Each certificate of need is valid for a period of one year from the date of determination. One extension of one hundred eighty days may be granted by the department upon request of the applicant. Failure by the applicant to obligate funds for implementation of the proposal within the designated time will render the certificate of need null and void. However, time spent in a reconsideration action or a court appeal will not count toward the expiration of a certificate of need.
