HEALTH CARE DELIVERY & ACCESS ACT REPEAL
SB 101 repeals a delayed repeal of New Mexico's Health Care Delivery and Access Act (enacted in 2024). It specifically removes Section 13 of Laws 2024, Chapter 41, which had postponed the original act's repeal. This action restores the full provisions of the Health Care Delivery and Access Act, meaning it directly affects healthcare providers and patients covered under the original legislation. The bill does not change the act's content but ensures it remains in effect without further delay.

MINOR
This bill repeals a delayed repeal provision from a 2024 health care law, effectively restoring the original intent of that legislation. The change removes a temporary legislative pause that had previously been enacted to delay the full implementation of health care delivery reforms.
Scope change
The bill's scope is limited to repealing a specific 2024 statute rather than creating new health care policies. It does not alter the substantive health care delivery requirements themselves.
TIMELINE
Removed the delayed repeal provision from Laws 2024, Chapter 41, Section 13 that had postponed the full implementation of the Health Care Delivery and Access Act.
