AI-generated plain-language summary

This measure increased the legislative vote requirement from a simple majority to two-thirds for amending California's existing hospital fee law, which imposes fees on hospitals to generate federal Medicaid matching funds for healthcare services. It also made the hospital fee law permanent by removing its expiration date and exempted the fee proceeds from state spending limits and education funding calculations.
