This bill extends the Commission to Study Telehealth Services, mandating it to submit a supplemental report by June 30, 2026, while also providing for the repeal of the commission on that same date. The commission is tasked with soliciting input from relevant entities and collecting data on various aspects of telehealth, including parity in commercial payers, access for patients and providers, utilization rates, quality of care, and the impact on healthcare costs. Notably, the bill adds provisions for synchronization with federal policy and recommended legislation to the commission's study scope.

Additionally, the bill amends the reporting requirements for the commission, changing the timeline for its reports. It specifies that the commission must submit an interim report by December 1, 2022, a final report by December 1, 2024, and now includes a supplemental report due by June 30, 2026. The repeal of the commission is set to take effect on June 30, 2026, while the rest of the bill will take effect upon passage, which occurred on May 8, 2025.
