Health - Maternal and Child Health Population Health Improvement Fund - Use

HB 170 extends the deadline for using Maryland's Maternal and Child Health Population Health Improvement Fund from December 31, 2025, to December 31, 2027. The fund, which collects hospital assessments and other designated revenue, supports maternal and child health programs administered by Maryland's Medical Care Programs Administration and Prevention and Health Promotion Administration. This bill modifies the expiration date in existing law without changing the fund's structure, funding sources, or eligibility for programs. It ensures these health initiatives can continue using the fund through 2027.
