Summary of Legislation
Current law allows certain public hospitals with fewer than 50 beds to enter into collaborative
agreements to increase access to health care. This bill adds private, non-profit hospitals with
fewer than 50 beds to the list of facilities approved to enter into collaborative agreements.
State Expenditures
Workload will minimally increase for the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing,
Department of Regulatory Agencies, and Department of Law to evaluate any additional
collaborative agreements submitted by private, nonprofit hospitals. This workload is expected to
be minimal and can be absorbed within existing resources.
Effective Date
The bill takes effect 90 days following adjournment of the General Assembly sine die, assuming
no referendum petition is filed.
