This bill establishes a pilot program called the Continued Access in Underserved Communities Pilot Program, aimed at supporting hospitals that relocate from underserved communities while maintaining essential services. The program allows hospitals that have received approval to relocate to a property previously owned by the federal government to keep a community access location at their original site. This community access location must operate under the same license as the relocated hospital and can be managed by the same administration and clinical departments. The Department of Health is granted the authority to issue waivers from certain regulatory requirements to facilitate the integration of the community access location with the relocated hospital.

Additionally, the bill appropriates $3 million from the General Fund to assist eligible hospitals in covering costs related to the development and maintenance of community access locations and community health programs. Hospitals participating in the pilot program must apply for financial assistance and provide detailed information about their services and associated costs. The pilot program is set to last for ten years from the date a participating hospital obtains a certificate of occupancy for its new location, with provisions for extending the program if necessary.
