An Act amending the act of July 19, 1979 (P.L.130, No.48), known as the Health Care Facilities Act, in licensing of health care facilities, providing for reporting costs associated with health care for illegal migrants.
HB 1661 amends the Health Care Facilities Act to require licensed health care facilities - including hospitals and clinics - to report costs incurred when providing health care to individuals classified as "illegal migrants" under the bill. This reporting obligation applies directly to facilities operating under the Act, without altering existing emergency care requirements for all patients. The bill specifies a new administrative duty for facilities to document and submit these costs but does not detail reporting frequency, format, or data usage. The legislation focuses solely on tracking these expenses, with no changes to eligibility for care.
