Bill A-2607/S-1794 signing on Friday, August 8, 2008 10:00am

Today I was informed by Governor Corzine’s office that he will soon be signing a bill that I sponsored along with some other related bills.

The signing will take place on Friday of this week at 10:00am at the Outpatient Services Auditorium, 2nd floor at Robert Wood Johnson-Hamilton, located at One Hamilton Health Place in Hamilton, NJ.

The following bills will be signed:

- A-2607/S-1794 Requires each general hospital and State psychiatric hospital to annually conduct public meetings for the community it serves.
- A-2609/S-1797 Prohibits hospitals from charging certain uninsured persons more than 15% greater than applicable Medicare rate
- S-1795/A-2606 Requires training for all trustees of general hospitals
- S-1796/A-2608 Authorizes enhanced DHSS monitoring of hospital financial performance and intervention in management of identified distressed hospitals.

Thank you for supporting me in the passage of this legislation.
