    The trial court properly denied Department of Community Health's motion to dismiss hospital's action seeking declaratory and injunctive relief in an effort to have Georgia's applicable certificate of need law and the regulations authorizing it declared unconstitutional because hospital was not required to exhaust its administrative remedies before filing the action and the trial court also properly granted summary judgment to the Department on hospital's constitutional challenges to O.C.G.A. 31-6-40 subsection (a) (7) (C).
