Wyoming hospitals gain bankruptcy and dissolution options

Wyoming county memorial hospitals and hospital districts can seek Chapter 9 bankruptcy or dissolve and end their legal operations. Required debt or dissolution plans need approval from county commissioners or relevant governing bodies before trustees’ votes take effect. County memorial hospital bankruptcy filings also require county commissioners to approve the petition. Hospital districts must post the bankruptcy petition and initial debt plan on a district-run website. These documents must be publicly available for at least seven days before the first public meeting considering them. District trustees must approve the petition and plan; no voter approval is required for bankruptcy. After approval, trustees can complete the bankruptcy process or carry out the dissolution plan. The law took effect immediately upon completion of the steps required for it to become law.
