Modification No. 1 to Contract NFPHC-MS-23-C-00054 between the Not-for-Profit Hospital Corporation and Northrium Health LLC Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2024

This bill authorizes an emergency contract modification and payment between the Not-for-Profit Hospital Corporation, which operates United Medical Center, and Northrium Health LLC. The change approves an additional payment of approximately $1.03 million for anesthesia and vascular access services provided under an existing agreement. By bypassing standard procurement rules, the legislation allows the district to quickly process this financial transaction to cover services already received and those expected in the future. The act is temporary and will expire within 90 days of approval.
