State legislatures are rapidly expanding oversight of healthcare deals, adding pre-closing notice, approval, and disclosure rules that directly impact private equity, venture capital, REIT, MSO, and roll-up strategies. In 2025 alone, Massachusetts and New Mexico strengthened transaction-review regimes, while California enacted new provisions targeting PE and hedge-fund activity through its Office of Health Care Affordability (AB 1415 and related measures). Washington and Colorado added state-level merger notifications; Indiana and Illinois continue to require advance notice for many healthcare combinations.
Across the map, at least a dozen-plus states now require healthcare pre-merger filings or “material change” notices—often capturing physician-practice acquisitions, management services agreements, and other structures common to PE strategies. Timelines are lengthening, disclosure of indirect ownership is expanding, and coordination with multiple agencies can delay closings and add risk.
