AN ACT TO AMEND TITLES 16 AND 29 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE PROTECTION OF NONPROFIT ACUTE CARE HOSPITALS.

Summary

The Senate passed a measure that expands the legal definitions of a “not‑for‑profit healthcare conversion transaction” and clarifies what entities are covered. It obligates any nonprofit acute‑care hospital planning such a transaction to notify the Attorney General at least 180 days before closing, with the notice forwarded to the Governor and the Secretary. The changes aim to give the state better oversight of potential ownership or governance shifts in nonprofit hospitals.
