26:2H-18.75 Findings, declarations relative to health care facilities.  2. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. The final report of the New Jersey Commission on Rationalizing Health Care Resources, issued on January 24, 2008, demonstrated that a large number of New Jersey general hospitals are in poor financial health and in financial distress due to a number of causes, including lack of universal coverage, underpayment by public payers, misaligned incentives and interests between physicians and hospitals, lack of transparency of performance or cost, a need for more responsible governance at certain hospitals, and excessive geographic hospital density; b. The financial challenges faced by general hospitals in New Jersey have caused many to close in recent years, and additional hospitals may close in the future; c. A general hospital's sudden closure or significant reduction in services can threaten access to health care providers and specialized health care services in the hospital's primary service area; d. It is vitally important to the residents of this State that continuity and stability be maintained when a general hospital closes or reduces services in order to assure access to high-quality and cost-effective health care services and referrals to residents of the affected community;  e. It is fitting and appropriate that the State of New Jersey provide temporary funding to continue access to and availability of health care services in time of emergent need and to condition that funding on adherence to requirements to ensure efficient and effective delivery of health care services; and f. To that end, the Health Care Stabilization Fund is established for the purpose of providing emergency grants to general hospitals and other licensed health care facilities to ensure continuation of access and availability of necessary health care services to residents in a community served by a hospital facing closure or significantly reducing services due to financial distress. L.2008, c.33, s.2.

The Commissioner of Health, in consultation with the State Treasurer and the New Jersey Health Care Facilities Financing Authority, may award a grant to a hospital or other licensed health care facility from the fund if the commissioner determines that, due to extraordinary circumstances, the grant is necessary to maintain access to essential health care services or referral sources, as appropriate. In determining whether to award a grant to a licensed health care facility, the commissioner shall consider whether, at a minimum, the following factors are present:  a. Extraordinary circumstances threaten access to essential health services for residents in a community; b. Persons in a community will be without ready access to essential health care services in the absence of the award of a grant from the fund; c. Funding is unavailable from other sources to preserve or provide essential health care services; d. A grant from the fund is likely to stabilize access to the essential health care services;  e. There is a reasonable likelihood that the essential health care services will be sustainable upon the termination of the grant; f. The proposed recipient of the grant agrees to conditions established by the commissioner for receipt of a grant; and g.
