Health - Licensure of Hospitals - Ownership Requirements

Summary

Starting October 1, 2026, any hospital seeking a Maryland license must be organized as a nonprofit under federal law and registered as such with the state. Existing hospitals that receive a license on or after that date must remain nonprofit, and any future sale of a licensed hospital can only be to another nonprofit entity. The measure aims to ensure that hospital ownership remains in the nonprofit sector.
