Establishes process to appoint a receiver for a hospital that closes without proper authorization.
This bill creates a procedure for the Superior Court to appoint a receiver to manage a hospital that has closed or is at risk of closing without following the required certificate of need (CN) process. The Department of Health, the Attorney General, or the municipality can file a complaint if the hospital has closed without a CN or is at risk of closing without applying for one. The receiver can either take over hospital operations or direct the existing administration to restore services. The receiver is compensated from hospital revenues and can be required to provide a bond.
