Abstract
(HB6072 · 103rd Legislature) Health facilities: hospitals; certain hospital financial assistance policies; make subject to the hospital financial assistance act. Amends sec. 17 of 1913 PA 350 (MCL 331.167). TIE BAR WITH: HB 6071’26 Latest action (2026-06-25): Referred To Committee Of The Whole
Why this matters
HB6072 is the conforming companion to HB6071, wiring Michigan’s century-old hospital corporations statute (1913 PA 350) into the new Hospital Financial Assistance Act framework. Without this tie-bar amendment, hospitals organized under PA 350 could argue their charity care policies fall outside the new act’s reach, so the pairing is what makes the charity-care standards operationally binding across Michigan’s hospital landscape.
