Bill > HB1540

This bill repeals the termination date for a requirement that the Governor include $10,000,000 in the annual budget bill for the University of Maryland Capital Region Medical Center, meaning this funding will continue indefinitely. The original law, enacted in 2016 and amended in 2017, established a funding stream to support the transition and financial viability of the new Prince George's County Regional Medical Center, which is part of the University of Maryland Medical System. This funding was intended to help improve healthcare services, facilitate cost containment, and protect the State's investment in the medical center. The bill removes a provision that would have ended this specific $10,000,000 annual appropriation on June 30, 2028, ensuring ongoing state financial support for the medical center beyond that date.
