Strengthening health care market standards.

Summary

The bill obligates hospitals, hospital systems and provider organizations to give the Washington attorney general at least 60 days notice before any merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or contracting affiliation that changes control, especially when an out‑of‑state party generates $10 million or more in Washington health‑care revenue. The attorney general charges a sliding‑scale filing fee, may request additional information, and must publish quarterly updates while keeping the submitted data confidential.
