PA HB 1460: new version, Printer's No. PN1821
Summary
Pennsylvania HB 1460, Printer's No. PN1821, would require approval from the Department of Health and the Office of Attorney General before certain transactions involving health care entities in Pennsylvania. The bill was removed from the table on October 6, 2026, after having been laid on the table following its first consideration in June 2026. The bill has not been enacted and remains in active legislative consideration.
What this may mean
If enacted, HB 1460 would impose a state pre-approval requirement on healthcare entity transactions in Pennsylvania, affecting hospitals, health systems, physician groups, and private equity sponsors involved in acquisitions or consolidations. The dual-agency review by the Department of Health and the Office of Attorney General creates both regulatory and antitrust oversight exposure for covered deals. The bill's re-activation signals continued legislative interest in healthcare transaction oversight in Pennsylvania.
