Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, in the event that the commonwealth does not receive all federal approvals the secretary of health and human services determines necessary to implement sections 18, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 69, 70, 75, 104 and 105 of this act, including any required waivers under 42 CFR § 433.68, the hospital assessment described in sections 64 through 69 of chapter 118E of the General Laws shall remain in effect as if sections 18, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 69, 70, 75, 104 and 105 of this act had not been enacted until the first full calendar month following the calendar month in which the secretary determines all such federal approvals have been received.

This section, along with fifteen others, increases the existing hospital assessment by $100 million in Health Safety Net fiscal year 2022 and maintains an increased and restructured hospital assessment after Health Safety Net fiscal year 2022.
