SB 708 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of July 19, 1979 (P.L.130, No.48), known as the Health Care Facilities Act, providing for Attorney General notification; and promulgating regulations.

SB 708 amends Pennsylvania's Health Care Facilities Act to require health care facilities to notify the Attorney General before making significant changes. These "material changes" include mergers, acquisitions, or major sales of assets valued above specific monetary thresholds, such as $10 million for a single transaction. The bill establishes a waiting period, typically 45 days, after notification, during which the Attorney General can review the proposed transaction. It also grants the Attorney General the authority to request additional information and hold public hearings to gather input from interested parties.
