AI Summary

This bill establishes a Community Health Center Transformation Fund within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The fund will provide at least $15 million annually to community health centers that demonstrate financial need, as defined by various criteria such as negative operating margins, insufficient cash flow, or a high proportion of patients requiring additional services. The Secretary of the Executive Office of Health and Human Services will administer the fund and may require community health centers receiving payments to undergo an independent financial and operational audit to recommend steps to increase their sustainability and efficiency. The bill also directs the Executive Office of Health and Human Services to promulgate regulations necessary to carry out these provisions.
