AI Summary

This bill amends the charter of the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Hospital Authority, allowing the Authority to sell, lease, or transfer its assets or liabilities to a specific type of nonprofit corporation. The key provisions require that the nonprofit corporation be organized for healthcare facility ownership/operations, be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and agree to certain covenants and commitments related to preserving the mission and workforce of the Erlanger Health System. The bill also outlines a process for Hamilton County's review and approval of the transaction, and allows for the dissolution of the Hospital Authority after the transfer. The bill is intended to facilitate a restructuring of the Erlanger Health System under a nonprofit entity while preserving its core services and workforce.
