Bill > HB529

This bill, titled "Code Revision - Health - Maryland Medical Assistance Program," aims to revise, restate, and recodify the existing laws related to the Maryland Medical Assistance Program, which is a state-run health insurance program for low-income individuals and families. The primary purpose of this legislation is to organize and update the legal framework governing the program, ensuring clarity and consistency in its operation. While it makes numerous changes to the existing statutes, the bill explicitly states that these are intended to be nonsubstantive revisions, meaning they are not meant to alter the fundamental policies or benefits of the Maryland Medical Assistance Program. The bill also includes provisions for correcting cross-references and terminology in the Annotated Code of Maryland to reflect these changes and takes effect on October 1, 2026.
