(c) The assessment imposed under § 1032 of this title is suspended, and a hospital does not have an obligation to pay the assessment, when the Commission certifies in a notice to the Registrar of Regulations that any of the following apply:

(1) A federal law or rule change by CMS prohibits the type of assessment imposed under § 1032 of this title or otherwise declares the type of assessment under § 1032 of this title impermissible under Title XIX of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1396 et seq.

(2) CMS does not permit the State to use the assessment imposed under § 1032 of this title for the State's share of Medicaid program expenditures without a loss of federal matching funds.

(1) The Commission certifies in a notice to the Registrar of Regulations of the enactment of an act of the General Assembly modifying this subchapter or subchapter III of this chapter that resolves the condition precipitating the suspension.

(2) The Commission certifies in a notice to the Registrar of Regulations that the condition precipitating the suspension has been resolved.
