Catch Title:
Hospital and health care
districts-services to providers.

Subject:
Service
provided by county memorial hospitals, special hospital districts and rural
health care districts.

Summary/Major Elements:

Under current law a county
memorial hospital, special hospital district or rural health care district is
authorized to enter into contracts and engage in shared services with other
entities, but such authority may only be exercised for the delivery of health
care services.

The act specifies that the
limitation does not prohibit an entity primarily organized and authorized to
sell services to health care providers from also selling those services for
nonhealth care purposes.

Current law requires county
memorial hospitals, special hospital districts or rural health care districts
to provide municipalities an opportunity to participate in any contract
authorized as above if a hospital currently exists in the municipality. The
act clarifies that this provision does not apply to any entity which is
organized for the purpose of selling administrative services to health care
providers.

Note:

Final action on this bill was not taken at the time this summary
was prepared. Should changes be made to the bill upon final passage, an
updated summary will be transmitted to all legislators.
