Appellant Charlotte-Mecklenburg Hospital Authority, d/b/a Carolinas Medical Center-Fort Mill (Carolinas), challenges a decision of the South Carolina Administrative Law Court (ALC) ordering Respondent South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control to issue of a Certificate of Need (CON) to Respondent Amisub of South Carolina, Inc., d/b/a Piedmont Medical Center, d/b/a Fort Mill Medical Center (Piedmont). Carolinas argues the ALC's application of the CON Act, the 2004-2005 State Health Plan, and the Project Review Criteria violates the dormant Commerce Clause because it is intended to protect Piedmont against competition from an out-of-state competitor and provides in-state hospitals with an advantage over out-of-state hospitals in obtaining a CON. Carolinas also argues the ALC erred in approving Piedmont's proposal to transfer beds from its existing hospital in Rock Hill to its proposed hospital in Fort Mill because the ALC failed to make any findings of fact or conclusions of law regarding the eight criteria in the Bed Transfer Provision of the 2004-2005 State Health Plan.
