SB 109 - This act exempts health care provider joint ventures
from the antitrust laws of this state. Joint ventures are
agreements between two or more health care providers that join
together to provide health care services to a defined population.
Such agreements must involve substantial financial or operational
integration, including risk sharing. The joint ventures must
apply to the Health Facilities Review Committee for the
exemption. The application will be reviewed by both the
Committee and the Attorney General.
