Bill Summary
For legislation to preserve access to hospital services. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill aims to preserve access to hospital services by amending the existing law to allow the state to establish a receivership process for any hospital or free-standing clinic that provides essential health services and either closes without providing the required 90-day notice or closes following a determination by the Department that the closure would result in a discontinuation of necessary services in the facility's service area. The regulations to be developed would include a mechanism and source of funding for this receivership process.
