 AN ACT in relation to the definition of safety-net providers
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1. Notwithstanding any provision of law to contrary, the term
 "safety-net providers" as such term is used by a chapter of the laws  of
 2022 making appropriations for the support of government, as proposed in
 legislative   bills numbers S.8003-D and A.9003-D,  shall also include a
 general hospital as defined by section 2801 of  the  public  health  law
 that:  (a)  has  two  months, or less, worth of reserves to cover antic-
 ipated expenses; (b) is an enhanced safety net hospital  as  defined  by
 section 2807-c of the public health law; (c) is at risk of defaulting on
 existing  debt  obligations;  or  (d)  needs  to undergo a major capital
 improvement in order to maintain  existing  services  that  the  general
 hospital cannot obtain financing for and does not have reserves to cover
 the cost of such capital improvement.
   §  2.    This  act  shall take effect on the  same  date  and  in  the
 same manner  as  a chapter of the laws of 2022 making appropriations for
 the support of government, as proposed in  legislative    bills  numbers
 S.8003-D and A.9003-D, takes effect.
