In a Bloomberg Law article on top state health legislative priorities, health care partner Christina Bergeron discussed the 2024 outcome of several state private equity health care investment bills and the outlook for 2025.

Christina noted that Massachusetts and Minnesota failed to advance private equity focused health care investment bills in 2024, but lawmakers in both states have expressed interest in pursuing similar legislation in 2025. Pennsylvania could also revive legislation that failed to pass in 2024.

She explained that California Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill that would have required approval from the state attorney general for certain private equity health care acquisitions. This may lead other states to pursue less restrictive legislation to avoid discouraging private equity investment that could benefit community health care services.
