Combatting Hospital Monopolies Act

This bill lets the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) oversee certain tax‑exempt organizations. It does this by changing the FTC Act’s definition of “corporation” so that some nonprofits are covered. In plain terms, groups that didn’t clearly fall under the FTC’s rules before would now be subject to the same oversight and enforcement as for‑profit companies. The short title points to hospital monopolies as a focus, but the text applies to certain tax‑exempt organizations more broadly.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Certain tax‑exempt organizations that were not clearly under FTC authority before.
• What changes: The FTC would gain power to act against these organizations under the FTC Act, similar to how it treats corporations.
• When: The provided text does not state an effective date.
