Abstract

This issue brief, the twelfth in a series, addresses Hilltop’s latest update of the Community Benefit State Law Profiles to reflect new community benefit legislation enacted between January 1, 2015, and October 31, 2015. Just two states—Connecticut and North Carolina—enacted new community benefit legislation during this time. This brief discusses these changes, as well as community benefit bills in twelve states that were introduced but not enacted in 2015 in order to better understand current trends in legislative action.
