BILL NUMBER:S4624 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to authorizing the Nassau health care corporation to enter into agreements for the creation and operation of a health care delivery system network PURPOSE: To clarify that Nassau Health Care Corporation may exercise its general and special powers regardless of whether such exercise might have an impact on competition. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section one adds a new subsection 10 to § 3405 of the Public Authorities Law to clarify that in carrying out its health care purposes, the Nassau Health Care Corporation (NHCC) may engage in arrangements, contracts, information sharing, and activities with public or private entities and individuals, including joint ventures and joint negotiations with physicians, hospitals and payors. Such negotiations may result in separate or combined agreements, leases and/or activities involving delivery system network creation and operation that may displace competition and might otherwise be considered violations of state or federal antitrust laws. This provision provides the necessary legislative declaration for the activities of the corporation and of the private entities and individuals with which it collaborates, to be immunized from liability

BILL NUMBER:S4624A TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to authorizing the Nassau health care corporation to enter into agreements for the creation and operation of a health care delivery system network PURPOSE: To clarify that Nassau Health Care Corporation may exercise its general and special powers regardless of whether such exercise might have an impact on competition. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section one adds a new subsection three to § 3401 of the Public Authorities Law to provide further information regarding the legislative purpose and findings. This provision provides that as a free-standing public health care provider, the Nassau Health Care Corporation (NHCC) is at a competitive disadvantage in the emerging health care environment, which jeopardizes its ability to provide quality health care services to medically underserved populations. Thus, the state authorizes the corporation to engage in collaborative activities consistent with its health care purposes. Section two adds a new subsection 10 to § 3405 of the Public Authorities Law to clarify that in carrying out its health care purposes, the NHCC may engage in arrangements, contracts, information

HANNON -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Corporations, Authorities and Commissions -- committee discharged, bill amended, ordered reprinted as amended and recommitted to said committee AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to authorizing the Nassau health care corporation to enter into agreements for the creation and operation of a health care delivery system network THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Section 3401 of the public authorities law is amended by adding a new subdivision 3 to read as follows: 3. AS A FREE-STANDING PUBLIC HEALTH CARE PROVIDER, THE CORPORATION IS AT A COMPETITIVE DISADVANTAGE IN THE CURRENT AND EMERGING HEALTH CARE ENVIRONMENT, YET IT CANNOT BECOME PART OF A LARGER SYSTEM OF CORPORATE ENTITIES WHILE MAINTAINING ITS PUBLIC STATUS. SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS IN THE PUBLIC ASSETS OF THE CORPORATION AND ITS EFFORTS TO PROVIDE HIGH QUALITY HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS ARE JEOPARDIZED BY THE CORPORATION'S INABILITY TO COMPETE ON ITS OWN AND BY POTENTIAL LIMITS ON ITS ABILITY TO COLLABORATE WITH OTHER PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PROVIDERS, ENTITIES AND INDIVIDUALS. THE STATE FINDS THAT THE BENEFITS OF COLLABORATION BY THE CORPORATION OUTWEIGH ANY ADVERSE IMPACT ON COMPETITION. THE BENEFITS OF THE CORPORATION'S COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS INCLUDE PRESERVING AND EXPANDING NEEDED HEALTH CARE SERVICES IN ITS PRIMARY SERVICE AREA; CONSOLIDATING UNNEEDED OR DUPLICATIVE HEALTH CARE SERVICES; ENHANCING THE QUALITY OF, AND EXPANDING ACCESS TO, HEALTH CARE DELIVERED TO MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS; LOWERING COSTS AND IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF THE HEALTH CARE SERVICES IT DELIVERS; AND ACHIEVING IMPROVED REIMBURSEMENT FROM NON-GOVERNMENTAL PAYORS. BASED ON THE FINDINGS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION, THE STATE HEREBY AFFIRMATIVELY EXPRESSES A POLICY TO ALLOW THE CORPORATION TO ENGAGE IN COLLABORATIVE ACTIVITIES CONSISTENT WITH ITS HEALTH CARE PURPOSES, NOTWITHSTANDING EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
