An act relating to holding local hearings on hospital budgets

This bill requires the Green Mountain Care Board to hold budget review hearings for hospitals within the local communities where those hospitals are located. The key provision mandates that the Board meet with hospitals in their local areas to discuss upcoming fiscal year budgets and provide public notice of these meetings. This change allows community members to attend and offer comments on proposed hospital budgets directly in their neighborhoods. The bill affects the Green Mountain Care Board's budget review process and gives local residents a more accessible opportunity to participate in hospital budget discussions.
