Summary

The bill obligates nonprofit hospitals in Maryland counties of 50,000 or more residents to deliver community benefits each year equal to either the full value of their tax‑exempt benefits 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 will forward compliance reports to the Attorney General and Comptroller, who can revoke a hospital’s tax‑exempt status for failure to meet the requirements.
