 AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to requirements for
 collective negotiations by health care providers with certain health
 benefit plans

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Statement of legislative intent. The legislature finds that
 2 collective negotiation by competing health care providers for the terms
 3 and conditions of contracts with health plans can result in beneficial
 4 results for health care consumers. The legislature further finds
 5 instances where health plans dominate the market to such a degree that
 6 fair and adequate negotiations between health care providers and the
 7 plans are adversely affected, so that it is necessary and appropriate to
 8 provide for a system of collective action on behalf of health care
 9 providers. Consequently, the legislature finds it appropriate and neces-
 10 sary to displace competition with regulation of health plan-provider
 11 agreements and authorize collective negotiations on the terms and condi-
 12 tions of the relationship between health care plans and health care
 13 providers so the imbalances between the two will not result in adverse
 14 conditions of health care. This act is not intended to apply to or
 15 affect in any respect collective bargaining relationships which arise
 16 under applicable federal or state collective bargaining statutes.
 17 § 2. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "health care
 18 consumer and provider protection act".
 19 § 3. Article 49 of the public health law is amended by adding a new
 20 title III to read as follows:

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
