Summary of Legislation
The bill requires the Statewide Health Care Review Committee to produce a report on the
committee’s activities and recommendations to improve health care billing practices. The report
must be submitted within 90 days of the final committee meeting of the 2025 interim. The bill
allows the committee to meet an additional two times in the 2025 interim.
State Expenditures
The bill increases state expenditures in the Legislative Department by about $5,000 in
FY 2025-26 only. The bill also minimally affects workload in the Department of Health Care
Policy and Financing (HCPF) and the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA).
Legislative Department
The ten legislators on the task force are eligible for per diem and reimbursement of expenses for
the additional two meetings that occur outside of the legislative session. Costs are paid from the
General Fund.
Other Agency Impacts
Workload in HCPF and DORA may increase to assist the committee in studying billing practices
and producing the report. This work depends on scope of the study and is expected to be
absorbable within existing appropriations. If workload increases materially, expenditures will be
addressed through the annual budget process.
Effective Date
The bill takes effect 90 days following adjournment of the General Assembly sine die, assuming
no referendum petition is filed.
State Appropriations
For FY 2025-26, the bill requires a General Fund appropriation of $4,719 to the Legislative
Department.
