Hospital bankruptcy proceedings.

This bill allows Wyoming's county memorial hospitals and hospital districts to file for bankruptcy under a process designed for local governments (Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code) to address debt challenges without dissolving the hospital. County memorial hospitals must get approval from the county commissioners before filing, while hospital districts must publicly post their bankruptcy plan for seven days and hold a public meeting before trustees vote. Hospital districts no longer require a vote of the public to initiate bankruptcy proceedings. The changes take effect on July 1, 2026.
