The bill proposes an amendment to Chapter 42-7.2 of the General Laws, specifically adding a new section that mandates the Secretary of the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) to have the authority to transfer personnel to coordinate the development of a state hospital realignment plan. This plan must be prepared no later than July 1, 2024. Furthermore, the Secretary is required to present this realignment plan to the General Assembly by September 1, 2024.

The bill's explanation clarifies that the purpose of the act is to organize state hospitals into a new department of hospitals. The act emphasizes the deadline for the submission of the realignment plan and states that the act will become effective immediately upon passage. There are no deletions mentioned in the bill, only insertions regarding the creation of the realignment plan and the associated deadlines.
