Requires a hospital to ensure that the individual or entity contracted to provide health care services agrees in writing to operate under the hospital's financial assistance policy, screening obligations, collections provisions, and all other provisions of the Act, and requires a hospital to ensure that a hospital agent or on-site provider of outsourced health care services complies with the Act. Amends the Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act to establish similar requirements for hospitals. Provides that a hospital shall include charges from the third-party individual or entity when calculating the charge, discount, or collectible amount applicable under the Act. ## Bill overview No economic impacts identified for this bill. ## Sponsors and cosponsors - Sponsor: Dagmara Avelar (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Barbara Hernandez (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Hoan Huynh (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Laura Faver Dias (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Maura Hirschauer (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Nicolle Grasse (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Rita Mayfield (Democratic), House ## Roll call votes | Date | Chamber | Motion | Result | Yes | No | Other | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2025-03-18 | House | Do Pass / Short Debate Health Care Availability & Accessibility Committee; | pass | 8 | 5 | | ## Actions (19) - 2025-04-11: House Floor Amendment No. 1 Rule 19(c) / Re-referred to Rules Committee (House) - 2025-04-11: Rule 19(a) / Re-referred to Rules Committee (House) - 2025-04-09: Added Co-Sponsor Rep.
