Modification Nos. 2 and 3 to Contract No. NFPHC-NUR-23-C-00039 between Not-for-Profit Hospital Corporation and Aya Healthcare, Inc. Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2025
This bill is a procedural emergency approval for two contract modifications to an existing nursing staffing agreement between United Medical Center (UMC) and Aya Healthcare, Inc. It authorizes $3.2 million for retroactive supplemental nursing services in Option Year 1 (covering January 2024) and $1.2 million for partial coverage in Option Year 2 (January-March 2025), totaling $4.4 million. The modifications address UMC’s staffing challenges due to rising nurse costs, competition for personnel, and difficulties hiring as the hospital prepares for closure. The approval is required to maintain essential nursing services without disruption.

MODERATE
The document transitioned from a cover letter and draft bill introduction to an enrolled original version of the final enacted legislation. The core policy content regarding contract modifications for nurse staffing services remained substantively the same, though the enrolled version consolidated formatting and removed the cover letter and contract summary table that were part of the original submission.
TECHNICAL
Removed the cover letter addressed to Chairman Mendelson, including the letterhead, signature block, and enclosure notice that accompanied the original bill submission.
Removed the detailed contract summary table that listed specific contract numbers, contractor names, option year amounts, and compensation methods.
Consolidated the bill text into a cleaner enrolled format with standardized headers and removed page numbering inconsistencies from the original draft.
Changed the contract amount description in Section 2 from listing individual option year amounts to a combined 'not-to-exceed' format ($5.7 million for option year one and $1.2 million for option year two).
