HB 529 Maryland House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Code Revision - Health - Maryland Medical Assistance Program

HB 529 is a procedural code revision bill that reorganizes existing sections of Maryland's health laws related to the Maryland Medical Assistance Program (MMAP). It renumbers sections (e.g., moving 15-103.1-15-103.8 to 15-103.3-15-103.10), repeals and reenacts specific provisions with minor edits, and adds new sections (15-103.1, 15-103.2, and 15-305-15-309) to the Annotated Code. The bill does not change eligibility rules, benefits, or funding for MMAP participants - such as low-income individuals, pregnant women, children, or legal immigrants - but instead streamlines the legal structure of the program’s existing framework. This is purely a technical update to improve clarity and organization of the code, with no new policy provisions.
