The council’s decision on an application for certificate of need, when announced pursuant to section 135.69, is a final decision. Any dissatisfied party who is an affected person with respect to the application, and who participated or sought unsuccessfully to participate in the formal review procedure prescribed by section 135.66, may request a rehearing in accordance with chapter 17A and rules of the department. If a rehearing is not requested or an affected party remains dissatisfied after the request for rehearing, an appeal may be taken in the manner provided by chapter 17A. Notwithstanding the Iowa administrative procedure Act, chapter 17A, a request for rehearing is not required, prior to appeal under section 17A.19.

1. A certificate of need shall be valid for a maximum of one year from the date of issuance. Upon the expiration of the certificate, or at any earlier time while the certificate is valid, the holder of the certificate shall provide the department information on the development of the project covered by the certificate as the department may request. The department shall determine at the end of the certification period whether sufficient progress is being made on the development of the project. The certificate of need may be extended by the department for additional periods of time as are reasonably necessary to expeditiously complete the project, but may be revoked by the department at the end of the first or any subsequent certification period for insufficient progress in developing the project.
2. Upon expiration of a certificate of need, and prior to extension of the certificate of need, any affected person shall have the right to submit to the department information which may be relevant to the question of granting an extension. The department may call a public hearing for this purpose.
