Health Care Reform Amendments

HB 573 creates a Health Care Reform Task Force to study ways Utah could collaborate with other states on health care issues. The task force includes 10 members: 3 Senate appointees (max 2 from one party), 5 House appointees (max 3 from one party), state health officials, and 2 governor-appointed members. It will examine multistate strategies for pharmacy regulations, drug purchasing, cost transparency, Medicaid, and health care workforce issues. The task force must report its findings to the Health and Human Services committee by September 1, 2027, with no state funds allocated for its operations.
