Summary

The bill creates a new medical‑debt collection chapter that lets the attorney general suspend a hospital’s right to pursue unpaid medical bills unless the hospital meets several compliance standards. It also defines what qualifies as an ambulatory outpatient surgical center and sets detailed operating requirements. Finally, it requires hospitals to give advance notice before closing or eliminating major service lines, with penalties for non‑compliance.
