The bill establishes a moratorium on hospital and hospital campus closures, operational changes, and the cessation of specific health services in Minnesota, effective until June 30, 2025. It prohibits hospitals from ceasing operations, curtailing services that require patient relocation, relocating health services, or discontinuing maternity care, intensive care, inpatient mental health, and substance use disorder treatment services. Hospitals planning to implement any of these actions after the moratorium must notify the commissioner of health and the public as required by existing law.

Exceptions to the moratorium include situations where a hospital ceases operations due to insolvency or when operational changes are necessary due to disasters such as fires or floods, as determined by the commissioner of health. The bill also clarifies that the enforcement of this moratorium will be under the authority of the commissioner of health, and it will take effect the day after final enactment.
