ABINANTI -- read once and referred to the Commit- tee on Corporations, Authorities and Commissions AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to authorizing the Westchester health care corporation to enter into agreements for the creation and operation of a health care delivery system network THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Section 3301 of the public authorities law is amended by adding a new subdivision 6 to read as follows: 6. AS A FREE-STANDING PUBLIC HEALTH CARE PROVIDER, THE CORPORATION IS AT A COMPETITIVE DISADVANTAGE IN THE CURRENT AND EMERGING HEALTH CARE ENVIRONMENT, YET IT CANNOT BECOME PART OF A LARGER SYSTEM OF CORPORATE ENTITIES WHILE MAINTAINING ITS PUBLIC STATUS. SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS IN THE PUBLIC ASSETS OF THE CORPORATION AND ITS EFFORTS TO PROVIDE HIGH QUALITY HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS ARE JEOPARDIZED BY THE CORPORATION'S INABILITY TO COMPETE ON ITS OWN AND BY POTENTIAL LIMITS ON ITS ABILITY TO COLLABORATE WITH OTHER PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PROVIDERS, ENTITIES AND INDIVIDUALS. THE STATE FINDS THAT THE BENEFITS OF COLLABORATION BY THE CORPORATION OUTWEIGH ANY ADVERSE IMPACT ON COMPETITION. THE BENEFITS OF THE CORPORATION'S COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS INCLUDE PRESERVING AND EXPANDING NEEDED HEALTH CARE SERVICES IN ITS PRIMARY SERVICE AREA; CONSOLIDATING UNNEEDED OR DUPLICATIVE HEALTH CARE SERVICES; ENHANCING THE QUALITY OF, AND EXPANDING ACCESS TO, HEALTH CARE DELIVERED TO MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS; LOWERING COSTS AND IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF THE HEALTH CARE SERVICES IT DELIVERS; AND ACHIEVING IMPROVED REIMBURSEMENT FROM NON-GOVERNMENTAL PAYORS. BASED ON THE FINDINGS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION, THE STATE HEREBY AFFIRMATIVELY EXPRESSES A POLICY TO ALLOW THE CORPORATION TO ENGAGE IN COLLABORATIVE ACTIVITIES CONSISTENT WITH ITS HEALTH CARE PURPOSES, NOTWITHSTANDING THAT THOSE COLLABORATIONS MAY HAVE THE EFFECT OF DISPLACING COMPETITION IN THE PROVISION OF HOSPITAL, PHYSICIAN OR OTHER HEALTH CARE-RELATED EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
