Hearing (House)
Summary
The bill would force nonprofit hospitals in Maryland counties of 50,000 people or more to provide community benefits equal to either 100% of their tax‑exempt value or at least 5% of net patient revenue, provided charity care reaches 4% of revenue. Hospitals must report these benefits to the Health Services Cost Review Commission, which in turn reports to the Attorney General and Comptroller, and the Comptroller could strip a hospital’s tax‑exempt status if it fails to comply. The measure also creates reporting standards, penalties for late filing, and a workgroup to guide implementation.
