23 15 the college of medicine have been transferred to the
23 16 department of human services as a result of these supplemental
23 17 payments made to the qualifying hospital, the department shall
23 18 not, directly or indirectly, recoup these supplemental
23 19 payments made to a qualifying hospital for any reason, unless
23 20 an equivalent amount of the funds transferred to the
