S 6460 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to prohibiting the establishment of new for-profit hospices

This bill prohibits the creation of new for-profit hospices and prevents existing for-profit hospices from expanding their capacity. It directly affects healthcare providers and organizations seeking to operate or grow hospice services by requiring them to be non-profit to receive approval. The law stops any new permits for for-profit hospices and denies requests to increase the number of beds or services at current for-profit facilities. By restricting these specific business models, the legislation aims to ensure hospice care is provided by non-profit entities.
