Summary

The bill bars any health‑care provider, facility, or provider organization from licensing if it sells its main campus to a real‑estate investment trust (REIT) and then leases it back. It only exempts hospitals that were already leasing from a REIT before July 1, 2026, and lets those hospitals keep the exemption after any transfer. The goal is to keep ownership of primary care sites in the hands of health‑care operators.
