The bill amends the Temporary Hospital Facility Act to enhance the enforcement provisions against healthcare insurers and ensure timely reimbursement for temporary hospital facilities. It requires healthcare insurers to cooperate in good faith by offering a healthcare contract to temporary hospital facilities within 30 days of a demand. The bill also mandates that reimbursement rates for temporary hospital facilities be equal to those of regularly-licensed hospitals and applies this requirement retroactively to the date the facility was licensed. Additionally, it clarifies that the Insurance Commissioner has the authority to enforce these provisions and that all remedies available under the Trade Practices Act are applicable.

Furthermore, the bill includes a severability clause to ensure that if any part of the act is found invalid, the remaining provisions will still be enforceable. An emergency clause is also included, stating that the lack of adequate statutory enforcement has led to arbitrary reimbursement practices, making the immediate passage of this act necessary for the preservation of public health and safety. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor or if the Governor neither approves nor vetoes it within the designated timeframe.
