The bill amends Chapter 13, Title 39 of the Idaho Code by adding a new section, 39-1360, which establishes ongoing accountability requirements for nonprofit hospitals that have received assets from public hospital districts. The legislation recognizes the importance of maintaining public oversight and transparency in the governance of these hospitals, especially after the dissolution of the hospital district. It emphasizes that public trust in healthcare governance is a significant state interest and aims to ensure that nonprofit hospitals continue to operate in alignment with the public purposes for which the assets were originally conveyed.

Under the new provisions, nonprofit hospitals must annually publish and make publicly available information regarding their membership structure, governing board selection process, board member details, and any significant transactions that could affect control or consolidation. Noncompliance with these requirements will be considered a violation of the conditions under which the hospital assets were conveyed, allowing the attorney general to enforce compliance through legal action. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective on July 1, 2026.
