An Act relative to health purchasing cooperatives

This bill amends Massachusetts law governing health purchasing cooperatives. It increases the maximum membership cap from 6 to 8 members (Section 12), raises the annual revenue threshold from $85,000 to $100,000 (Section 12), and removes a specific subsection (v) from Section 13(b). These changes adjust numerical thresholds and provisions within the existing regulatory framework for health cooperatives. The bill directly affects entities operating under Chapter 176J by modifying their eligibility and operational parameters.
