The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 5165 mandates the Commissioner of Public Health to assess the necessity of granting the Attorney General the authority to petition the Superior Court for the appointment of a receiver to oversee hospitals facing financial distress or operational crises. The evaluation must be completed, and a report submitted to the relevant joint standing committee by October 1, 2027.

This bill introduces new legal language, specifically establishing a new section that outlines the evaluation process and reporting requirements. There are no deletions from current law in this bill, as it primarily focuses on the insertion of new provisions related to the management of hospitals in distress.
