Section 22-21-354 Further Provisions Respecting Use and Disposition of Certain Property.

In determining the financial effect of an arrangement between an authority and any nonhospital-based physician, dentist or other health care professional for the furnishing of office space to any such person for use in his private practice (for purposes of those provisions of the enabling statute relating thereto), the board: (1) May, in the determination of the rental and other consideration to be received by the authority from the furnishing of such office space, consider not only the dollar amount of such rental and other consideration being or to be paid by such person pursuant to such arrangement, but also such other circumstances or conditions as it shall generally describe in an authorizing resolution, including (without limitation and by way of example or illustration) factors such as the probability or possibility that such person will refer patients or others to any one or more of the health care facilities owned or operated by the authority or will otherwise make use of, and compensate the authority for, services provided at or by any such health care facilities; (2) In such event, may (in the authorizing resolution) assign to such other circumstances or conditions such value as in its discretion it deems appropriate and warranted; and (3) May furnish office space to such person if the dollar amount of the rental and any other consideration being or to be paid to the authority by such person, when added to the value so assigned to such other circumstances and conditions, is not less than the cost of such office space to the authority, any provisions of the enabling statute to the contrary notwithstanding. Any value so assigned in an authorizing resolution to any such other circumstances and conditions shall be conclusive in the absence of fraud or a gross abuse of discretion.
