Bill Summary
Amends definition of "participating county" under County Option Hospital Fee Program.
AI Summary
This bill amends the definition of "participating county" under the County Option Hospital Fee Program. Specifically, it changes the criteria for a county to be considered a "participating county" by lowering the minimum Municipal Revitalization Index Distress score for a municipality within the county from 35 to 33, and adding additional criteria such as excluding counties with a population less than 150,000 or a median household income greater than $110,000. These changes aim to expand the pool of counties eligible to participate in the program, which allows counties to impose a local healthcare-related fee and use the funds collected to provide certain services.
