Proposed bill would mandate sale of LICH properties by Kimberly Gail Price
State Senator Eric Adams and Senator Kevin Parker introduced Bill S5741 2013 the Brooklyn Health Trust Act to fund a trust from the sale of Long Island College Hospital assets. The measure would appoint a board to oversee ambulatory health care funded by LICH and Downstate holdings with proceeds directed to Kings County health needs. The bill never progressed beyond introduction and was not sent to the Assembly before session end.
