Client Alert | 1 min read | 12.28.11
The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, presently before the President for signature, includes a number of important procedural and substantive changes to the treatment of technical data rights. For example, in addition to lengthening the time period for which the U.S. can challenge a contractor’s assertion of a technical data use or release restriction from 3 to 6 years, the bill would also permit the U.S. to release or disclose technical data outside the government if such release or disclosure “is necessary for the segregation of an item or process from, or the reintegration of that item or process (or a physically or functionally equivalent item or process) with, other items or processes[.]”

Starting next week, on April 1st, health care entities in California closing “material change transactions” will be required to notify California’s new Office of Health Care Affordability (“OHCA”) and potentially undergo an extensive review process prior to closing. The new review process will impact a broad range of providers, payers, delivery systems, and pharmacy benefit managers with either a current California footprint or a plan to expand into the California market. While health care service plans in California are already subject to an extensive transaction approval process by the Department of Managed Health Care, other health care entities in California have not been required to file notices of transactions historically, and so the notice requirement will have a significant impact on how health care entities need to structure and close deals in California, and the timing on which closing is permitted to occur.
