AN ACT CONCERNING HOSPITAL SALE-LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS AND ATTESTATIONS CONCERNING LACK OF A CONTROLLING INTEREST OF A HOSPITAL OR OF INTERFERENCE WITH THE PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT AND CLINICAL DECISIONS OF CERTAIN HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS OF A HOSPITAL BY A PRIVATE EQUITY ENTITY.

Summary

Starting Oct. 1, 2026, Connecticut hospitals may not sell and lease back their main campus property unless they are in financial distress, in which case they can do so after board approval and notifying the health commissioner and attorney general. Every hospital must also file an annual attestation that no private‑equity firm owns a controlling stake or influences doctors’ clinical decisions. The bill aims to protect hospital governance and patient care while giving distressed hospitals a limited financing option.
