Amend the bill, as and if amended, Part IB, Section 117, GENERAL PROVISIONS, page 523, after line 19, by adding an appropriately numbered new proviso to read:
/ (GP: Contract Violations) In the current fiscal year, if the Director of the Department of Health and Human Services determines that a hospital system which has entered into a merger, consolidation, acquisition, partnership, or new association with another hospital system and which previously contracted to give seats on its board of directors and/or a pro rata share thereof as representation on a successor board of directors, to a previously acquired hospital, and the hospital system violates that provision of the relevant contract or support agreement prescribing such representation, then no state agency may distribute any state funds appropriated or authorized in this act to the violating hospital system until the Director of the Department of Health and Human Services determines that the hospital system is no longer in violation of the contract or support agreement. However, this proviso does not apply to and does not prohibit distributions for the Medicaid state plan of services disproportionate share or the associated state match share. /
