HB 1167 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Hospitals and Health Care Facilities - As introduced, requires the dissolution and reconstitution, upon appointments by the governor, of the board of directors of any hospital that is part of a certificate of public advantage. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 8; Title 56; Title 63 and Title 68.

HB 1167 requires hospitals operating under a "certificate of public advantage" (a legal framework for hospital systems) to reconstitute their governing boards by May 1, 2025. The governor must appoint nine board members who are confirmed by the legislature, with strict rules prohibiting hospital employees, contractors, or individuals with financial conflicts from serving. Boards must meet public meeting requirements, and failure to appoint members by the deadline will cause the hospital system's certificate of public advantage to expire. This bill directly affects multi-hospital systems in Tennessee that hold these certificates, changing how their leadership is selected and governed.
