MINOR
This bill was amended to clarify that the Department of Health must recommit the bill to its committee after the initial discharge, allowing for further review before final passage. Additionally, the definition of 'Revenue' for calculating minimum spending requirements was updated to exclude specific federal COVID-19 grant funds, ensuring these one-time emergency funds are not counted against facilities' spending mandates.
Scope change
The bill's scope regarding revenue calculation was narrowed by explicitly excluding certain federal pandemic relief funds from the definition of revenue used to determine compliance with minimum spending standards.
PROCEDURAL

The legislative process was updated to require the bill to be recommitted to the Committee on Health after being discharged, rather than moving directly to the next stage.

DEFINITION

The definition of 'Revenue' was adjusted to exclude federal grant funds provided for COVID-19 pandemic-related expenses, preventing these funds from being used to calculate if a facility met minimum spending thresholds.

ELIGIBILITY

The effective date clause was slightly modified to specify that the supplemental payment distribution applies to 'qualified not-for-profit facilities' instead of just 'qualified facilities'.
