Oversight Committee on Quality of Care in Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities - Membership

SB 123 revises the membership structure of Maryland's Oversight Committee on Quality of Care in Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities. The bill reduces the number of House committee representatives from two to one and adds three new assisted living industry representatives categorized by facility size (1-4 residents, 5-9 residents, and over 10 residents). It also expands consumer representation with three members living in or connected to care facilities and includes additional organizational representatives from health, aging, and advocacy groups. The committee will now feature a more detailed membership structure to better reflect diverse stakeholder perspectives. The changes take effect on October 1, 2026.
