AN ACT CONCERNING THE APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVERS AND THE EXERCISE OF EMINENT DOMAIN TO ENSURE THE CONTINUITY OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES IN HOSPITALS FACING FINANCIAL DISTRESS.

HB 6556 would allow the state Attorney General to ask a court to appoint a manager to run hospitals in severe financial trouble, and let the state use eminent domain to take control of hospital facilities at risk of closing due to financial instability. It directly affects hospitals facing potential closure that could disrupt local healthcare access. The key mechanism requires court approval for a receiver to manage operations and state acquisition of property to maintain service continuity. The goal is to prevent gaps in healthcare services during hospital financial crises, ensuring facilities remain operational for patients.
