Summary

The legislation adds two public members, appointed by the governor, to the board of every Vermont hospital, guaranteeing that at least one‑sixth of the board is public. It also creates a compensation committee that must include at least two public members and forces hospitals to file detailed executive salary information with the Green Mountain Care Board before any pay changes. The aim is to give the community more oversight of hospital decisions and compensation practices.
