Pennsylvania HB1661 mandates hospitals to report admissions and emergency visits by illegal migrants and related costs.

HB1661 amends the Health Care Facilities Act to require hospitals to submit an annual report to the Pennsylvania Department of Health detailing the number of hospital admissions and emergency department visits by illegal migrants. The Department of Health must then compile this data and submit a report by March 1 each year to the Governor, legislative leaders, and relevant committee chairs. The report must include information on the costs of uncompensated care for illegal migrants, the impact on hospitals, and related funding needs.
