AN ACT CONCERNING THE APPOINTMENT OF A RECEIVER AND THE EXERCISE OF EMINENT DOMAIN TO ENSURE THE CONTINUITY OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES IN HOSPITALS FACING FINANCIAL DISTRESS OR AN OPERATIONAL CRISIS.

SB 767 authorizes Connecticut's Attorney General to seek court-appointed receivers to stabilize hospitals facing financial distress or operational crises, ensuring continued healthcare access. It grants the state the power to use eminent domain to take control of hospital facilities at risk of closure due to financial instability. The bill directly affects hospitals in crisis, requiring them to maintain operations, comply with regulations, and preserve patient services. Its key mechanism is the court process for receiver appointment and state takeover authority, aimed at preventing abrupt service interruptions. The bill's purpose is to ensure healthcare continuity and enable long-term solutions for struggling hospitals.
