This bill died with 2023-2024 Regular Session. It reached “To Executive” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

Vetoed by Governor Gavin Newsom (Democratic) on September 22, 2024.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Existing law creates the Distressed Hospital Loan Program, until January 1, 2032, for the purpose of providing loans to not-for-profit hospitals and public hospitals, as defined, in significant financial distress or to governmental entities representing a closed hospital to prevent the closure or facilitate the reopening of a closed hospital. Existing law requires the Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI) to administer this loan program. Existing law authorizes the Board of Supervisors of the County of Alameda to establish the Alameda Health System Hospital Authority for the management, administration, and control of the medical center in that county. Existing law authorizes the hospital authority to acquire and possess real or personal property and to dispose of real or personal property other than that owned by the county, as may be necessary for the performance of its functions. This bill would require HCAI, subject to review and approval by the Department of Finance, as specified, to approve the forgiveness of any loans under the Distressed Hospital Loan Program for the St. Rose Hospital in the City of Hayward if the hospital is acquired by the Alameda Health System Hospital Authority. The bill would require HCAI to forgive the full amounts of the principal, interests, fees, and any other outstanding balances of the loan. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the City of Hayward. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
