Health care districts: transfers of assets.

Existing law, the Local Health Care District Law, provides for the organization, incorporation, and management of health care districts. Existing law authorizes local health care districts to exercise specified powers, including transferring, at fair market value, any part of its assets to one or more corporations to operate and maintain the assets, as specified, and defines "transfer" for these purposes to mean the transfer of ownership of the assets of a district. This bill would prohibit a health care district from entering into a transfer agreement that allows a private party to the agreement to prohibit, restrict, or otherwise place conditions upon the health care district's expenditure of taxpayer funds.
