Summary

AB 1882 would have set up a temporary fund to reimburse rural hospitals for the costs of keeping obstetric and related specialty staff on standby. It targets critical‑access hospitals that serve isolated communities and would have helped preserve local maternity care. The bill also makes a technical change to the definition of small drug‑treatment facilities.
