Bill overview
This bill modifies Tennessee law regarding what constitutes a ‘public benefit hospital.’ It creates an exception for hospitals established solely to benefit a county government and with a high estimated sales value (over $500 million), exempting them from certain regulations related to hospital conveyance transactions. The bill also clarifies that proceeds from the sale of such hospitals cannot be returned to county or municipal governments beyond paying existing debts. This change aims to protect hospitals serving specific counties while ensuring financial transparency.
