Bill > HB06556

This bill proposes two key mechanisms to help preserve healthcare services during hospital financial emergencies: First, it would authorize the Attorney General to petition the Superior Court to appoint a receiver to manage hospitals experiencing severe financial difficulties or operational crises. A receiver in this context is a court-appointed administrator who takes control of an organization's operations and assets to stabilize its financial situation. Second, the bill would empower the state to use eminent domain—a legal mechanism that allows government entities to acquire private property for public use—to take control of hospital facilities that are at risk of closing due to financial instability. The overall purpose of these provisions is to ensure the continuity and accessibility of healthcare infrastructure, preventing potential service disruptions that could negatively impact local communities by maintaining hospital operations even when individual institutions are facing significant financial challenges.
