California Health Facilities Financing Authority Act: nondesignated hospitals: loan repayment.

Summary

The bill lengthens the repayment schedule for loans given to nondesignated public hospitals, requiring payments to start after 36 months and be paid off within 60 months at 0% interest. It also imposes new requirements on short‑term residential therapeutic programs, such as ensuring a parent or guardian lives in‑state, guaranteeing confidential phone calls, and providing appropriate footwear, with civil penalties and possible license loss for violations. The measures aim to give hospitals more time to recover from COVID‑19 financial strain while strengthening protections for children in therapeutic care.
