It is declared an emergency law to ensure immediate implementation for public convenience. The bill outlines specific funding allocations from the General Fund and the Transitional Escrow Fund, with provisions for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. Notably, it includes significant financial support for fiscally strained hospitals and community health centers, with detailed criteria for eligibility and distribution of funds.
