HB 6072 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Health facilities: hospitals; certain hospital financial assistance policies; make subject to the hospital financial assistance act. Amends sec. 17 of 1913 PA 350 (MCL 331.167). TIE BAR WITH: HB 6071'26

HB 6072 requires hospital boards in Michigan to follow the existing Hospital Financial Assistance Act when deciding how to provide financial help to patients. This change ensures that the rules for determining who qualifies for charity care and setting fees are consistent with state standards rather than being set solely by individual hospital boards. The bill only becomes active if a companion bill, HB 6071, is also passed into law. It directly affects public hospital trustees and the patients they serve by standardizing assistance policies.

MINOR

HB 6072's effective date condition was expanded. Previously, the bill only required House Bill No. 6071 to be enacted before it could take effect. Now it requires both Senate Bill No. 95 AND House Bill No. 6071 to be enacted. This means the bill is less likely to take effect unless all three bills pass together.

Scope change

The bill's applicability is now conditional on an additional bill (SB 95) being enacted, effectively tying its activation to the passage of a broader package of legislation.

TIMELINE

The condition for the bill taking effect was changed from requiring only HB 6071 to require both SB 95 and HB 6071 to be enacted into law. This adds a new dependency on Senate Bill No. 95, making it harder for this bill to become active.
