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-funded healthcare program for low-income individuals. The primary purpose of this legislation is to reorganize and update the legal framework governing the program, ensuring clarity and consistency. While the bill renumbers certain sections for better organization, its core intent is to make nonsubstantive changes to the law, meaning it does not alter the fundamental rights or obligations established by the current program. The bill also includes provisions for the publisher of the Annotated Code to correct any cross-references or terminology that may become outdated due to this revision or other legislative actions, and it specifies an effective date of October 1, 2026.
