An Act establishing a special commission to study the use, disposal, and potential re-use of durable medical equipment in hospitals and care facilities under the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth

This bill establishes a 13-member special commission to study how hospitals and care facilities in Massachusetts use, dispose of, and might reuse durable medical equipment. The commission includes health committee chairs, agency secretaries, and representatives from nursing, medical, hospital, and community health organizations. It must submit findings and legislative recommendations within 180 days of the bill's effective date. The bill itself creates the study framework but does not enact new policies.
