A piece of state legislation intended to get the Valencia County hospital project back on track has cleared its first major hurdle of the 2021 legislative session. House Bill 240, which clarifies the definition of “contracting hospital” in the state Hospital Funding Act, passed the state House of Representatives on a 67-0 vote on Thursday, Feb. 25. The bill will now go on to the Senate for consideration. Sponsored by Reps. Kelly Fajardo (R-District 7), Alonzo Baldonado (R-District 8) and Gail Armstrong (R-District 49), and Sens. Greg Baca (R-District 29) and Joshua Sanchez (R-District 30), the bill clarifies language to allow the county to use the collected mill levy for a hospital and/or 24-hour emergency room, as well as support of a facility licensed as a remote facility of an existing acute care facility.
