Bill Summary · H 5460

Overview

House Bill 5460 (H 5460) from the Massachusetts 194th General Court grants the Committee on Health Care Financing additional time to report on several current House documents. It extends the deadline for the committee to finalize its report on specified House documents.

Main purpose and intent

  • To extend, until Thursday, December 31, 2026, the period within which the Committee on Health Care Financing may complete its final report on the listed current House documents.
  • The bill does not create new policy provisions; it merely postpones the deadline for the committee’s reporting responsibilities related to those documents.

Key provisions

  • The extension applies notwithstanding House Rule 27.
  • The extension covers the committee’s final reporting deadline for the following current House documents:
    • House Document 2203
    • House Document 2553
    • House Document 4200
    • House Document 5013
    • House Document 5112
    • House Document 5303
  • Effective date: The extended deadline is December 31, 2026.
  • Sponsor information: Co-sponsors are John Lawn and Meg Kilcoyne.

Who/what is affected

  • The primary beneficiary is the Committee on Health Care Financing, which gains additional time to study, deliberate, and prepare its final reports on the specified documents.
  • Stakeholders related to the listed House documents (e.g., agencies, interest groups, and the public interested in health care financing policy) may experience delays in the release of final committee findings or recommendations related to those documents due to the extended timeline.

Procedural and timeline aspects

  • This is a procedural bill that adjusts the reporting deadline rather than altering substantive policy.
  • It amends House Rule 27 to allow the extension.
  • The new final report deadline for the covered documents is December 31, 2026, providing roughly an additional year and a half beyond what was previously permitted.

Additional notes

  • The bill’s language is concise and specific about the documents affected and the extension granted.
  • If enacted, the extension would synchronize with broader legislative scheduling to allow thorough review of health care financing topics within the stated documents.
