Establishes a procedure for Superior Court to appoint a receiver for a closed or imminently closing hospital.
This bill creates a process for the Superior Court to appoint a receiver to manage a hospital that has closed or is at risk of closing. The Department of Health, the Attorney General, or the municipality where the hospital is located can file a complaint if the hospital has closed without a certificate of need or is in danger of closing without applying for one. The receiver can take control of the hospital's operations or allow the existing administration to continue. The receiver must be approved by the Department and cannot have a financial interest in the hospital.
