Supplemental appropriation of $25 million from General Fund to DOH for Hudson Regional Health.

This bill appropriates $25 million from New Jersey's General Fund to the Department of Health specifically for Hudson Regional Health to support Heights University Hospital. Hudson Regional Health must use the funds exclusively to maintain continuous hospital services at Heights University Hospital, provide quarterly financial reports to the state, appoint a state representative to the hospital's board, and comply with employee protection laws if control changes. If Heights University Hospital suspends services within seven years, Hudson Regional Health must repay the state a portion of the funds (100% within 3 years, decreasing to 20% by year 7). The bill directly affects Hudson Regional Health and Heights University Hospital, with strict conditions to ensure service continuity and accountability.
