A. The California Association of Hospitals and Health Systems (now California Healthcare Association) and the California Association of Catholic Hospitals sponsored Senate Bill 697 in response to challenges of not-for-profit hospitals in other states. The bill was viewed as an opportunity for California’s not-for-profit hospitals to report on the broad range of benefits provided to their communities.
