Our Story

Built Out of a Real Problem

MyStateCONNews was born from a simple observation: the Certificate of Need public notice process — a legal requirement that affects every community's access to healthcare — still runs largely through traditional print newspapers, without a dedicated, transparent digital home.

The vision is clear: a digital-first legal publication where every organization that needs a Certificate of Need notice can come through us — starting in South Carolina, then every state, one at a time. Pick your state, publish your notice.

We believe in honest representation throughout. That means being transparent about what we are, what we're not yet, and where the open regulatory questions still need answers.

What We Are

A Proposed Publication Platform

Prototype Disclosure: This site is a prototype. No real CON notices have been published. No real payments are processed. No regulatory eligibility as a qualifying newspaper has been established. Consult an attorney before relying on any publication service for regulatory compliance.

MyStateCONNews is a proposed digital publication business for Certificate of Need legal public notices. We are building toward being a qualifying publication — digital-first, statewide reach — in each state we enter.

We serve three audiences: organizations that need to publish a CON notice, the public who wants to read and search published notices, and our internal operations team that reviews, approves, and schedules publications.

Open Questions We're Working Through

Whether digital-only publication qualifies as a "newspaper of general circulation" under South Carolina law — requires legal determination
Exact timing, frequency, and affidavit requirements in each state — researched state by state from primary sources
Business registration and publication registration requirements
Whether the platform will be organized as a nonprofit or for-profit entity — not yet decided
Domain ownership — no domains have been purchased or verified
Our Approach

Transparency First

We only launch a state after thorough regulatory research. We display verification status for every requirement we've researched — including clearly marking what's still an open question. We don't invent credentials, partnerships, or regulatory approvals we don't have.

The CON publication process exists to inform communities. We think that purpose is best served by a platform that is itself built on transparency — not one that obscures its own limitations.
