EXTEND HEALTH CARE CONSOLIDATION ACT REPEAL

SB 389 extends the delay of repealing New Mexico's Health Care Consolidation Oversight Act, pushing the effective repeal date from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2026. This bill directly affects healthcare providers and oversight bodies subject to the consolidation rules, as it maintains the current regulatory framework for one additional year. The key provision amends Section 9 of the 2024 law to update the repeal date, with no changes to the underlying regulations. The bill does not alter healthcare policy but adjusts the timeline for implementing the repeal.
