If the State representative considers that a decision taken by the board of directors, the supervisory board or the general meetings of a local semi-public company is likely to seriously increase the financial burden on one or more of the local authorities or their groupings that are shareholders, or the risk incurred by the local authority or authorities or their groupings that have given their guarantee to a loan contracted by the company, it shall, within one month of the date of receipt, refer the matter to the regional audit chamber, on condition that it simultaneously informs the company and the deliberative assemblies of the local authorities or their groupings that are shareholders or guarantors. Referral to the regional audit chamber entails a second reading by the board of directors or supervisory board or by the general meetings of the disputed deliberation.
The regional audit chamber has one month from the date of referral to make its opinion known to the State representative, the company and the deliberative assemblies of the local authorities and their groupings, shareholders or guarantors.
In the case of the local semi-public companies mentioned in article L. 1522-6, the State representative and the regional audit chamber are required to inform the company, the boards of directors of the shareholder establishments or groupings concerned and the director general of the regional health agency of their decisions and opinions.
