MODERATE

The bill was amended to add new sponsors and update its procedural history, indicating it has been reviewed and amended by the Committee on Health multiple times. Substantively, the bill redefined which facilities qualify for fair pricing protections by replacing a broad category of 'distressed' hospitals with a specific definition for 'diagnostic and treatment centers' serving low-income populations, while retaining protections for enhanced safety net hospitals and PPS-exempt cancer hospitals.

Scope change

The bill's scope of protected facilities was narrowed and redefined. The previous broad category of 'distressed safety net hospitals' was removed and replaced with a specific definition for 'diagnostic and treatment centers' that must serve over 50% Medicaid/uninsured patients and receive federal Title X funding.

ELIGIBILITY

Added new sponsors to the bill, including Representatives Dilan, Rajkumar, Hooks, Septimo, P. Carroll, Colton, Rozic, Hevesi, Lee, Cunningham, Shrestha, Moreno, Clark, O'Pharrow, Anderson, McDonald, and Stirpe.

Removed the definition for 'distressed safety net hospital' (requiring 45% Medicaid/uninsured mix and zero operating margin) and replaced it with a new definition for 'diagnostic and treatment centers' that must serve over 50% Medicaid/uninsured patients and be sub-recipients of federal Title X Family Planning funding as of April 28, 2026.

Reorganized the list of eligible facilities by renumbering the remaining categories (enhanced safety net hospitals and PPS-exempt cancer hospitals) to follow the new diagnostic and treatment center definition.

TECHNICAL

Updated the bill's title page and footer references from version A to version B to reflect the committee's discharge and recommitment status.
