HB 1367 Maryland House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Commission on Re-Imagining Health Care in Maryland

HB 1367 establishes a Commission on Re-Imagining Health Care in Maryland to study and recommend changes for a new statewide healthcare system. The commission, composed of 20 appointed members including state officials, healthcare providers, insurers, county representatives, and community members, will examine how healthcare is delivered in other regions and address issues like provider shortages, cost balancing, and system integration. It will specifically study how to create a patient-centered system covering all health needs, eliminate access barriers, and ensure financial sustainability for all Maryland residents. The commission’s final recommendations, due by 2028, would guide potential future policy changes but do not enact any immediate healthcare reforms.

MODERATE

The bill was finalized and enrolled, adding official proofreading and sealing language. Substantively, the Commission's membership structure was significantly altered to reduce legislative representation from six to four members and add new stakeholder groups, including a representative for young adults with chronic conditions and a nonprofit advocate for youth transitioning to adult care. The total number of members remains the same, but the composition now emphasizes specific patient demographics and community health needs over direct legislative appointments.

Scope change

The bill's scope regarding Commission membership was modified to include new specific stakeholder categories (young adults with chronic conditions, youth transitioning to adult care, and a public health nonprofit) while reducing the number of legislative seats from two to one each for the Senate and House of Delegates.

ELIGIBILITY

Reduced the number of Senate and House of Delegates members on the Commission from three each to one each.

Added a new member slot for a representative of a nonprofit organization advocating for young adults with chronic health conditions.

Added a new member slot for a representative of a nonprofit organization advocating for youth transitioning to adult health care systems.

Added a new member slot for a representative of the Maryland Rural Health Association.

Added a new member slot for a representative with expertise in advanced practice clinicians.

Removed the requirement for two representatives of the Maryland Association of Counties, replacing them with the new slots listed above.

Removed the requirement for two consumer members appointed by the Senate and House, replacing them with a single consumer member appointed by the Senate and a single consumer member appointed by the House.

TECHNICAL

Added 'Enrolled Bill' header, proofreader signature lines, and Great Seal presentation language to finalize the bill.
