An act relating to hospital collaboration and state action immunity

This bill allows hospitals and health systems in Vermont to collaborate on projects aimed at controlling costs, improving care access and quality, or preserving rural hospitals. To be protected from antitrust lawsuits, these collaborations must be approved by the Secretary of Human Services, who will supervise the process and ensure the projects align with state health goals. The bill also allows for the sharing of certain data between collaborating hospitals and makes these collaborations exempt from state antitrust laws.
