An Act regarding shared responsibility for health care oversight agencies

This bill modifies Massachusetts laws governing health care oversight agencies by changing minimum spending requirements to maximum spending limits. Specifically, it amends two state statutes to replace the phrase "not less than" with "no more than" in sections dealing with agency budgets. The change directly affects the Department of Insurance and the Board of Registration of Physicians, Nurses, and Allied Professionals by allowing them to operate within a set budget ceiling rather than a mandated minimum. This legislative adjustment shifts the financial framework for these agencies from a floor-based mandate to a cap-based constraint.
