Enrolled Bill Summary

Previous law authorized a municipality with a population of 15,000 or less to enter into an agreement to transfer partial responsibility for indigent health care services to a county in which the municipality's hospital provides services. House Bill 2397 amends the Indigent Health Care and Treatment Act to authorize a county to revoke or amend a transfer agreement if a hospital district with boundaries that cover all or part of the county is created after the effective date of the agreement.
