This bill extends the Commission to Study Telehealth Services, mandating it to submit a supplemental report by June 30, 2026. 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 synchronization with federal policy. Additionally, the commission is now required to provide recommendations for legislation as part of its study.

The bill amends existing law by changing the reporting requirements for the commission. It specifies that the commission must submit an interim report by December 1, 2022, and a final report by December 1, 2024, along with the new supplemental report due by June 30, 2026. Furthermore, it includes a repeal of the commission's authority as of June 30, 2026, and establishes that the remainder of the act will take effect upon passage, while the repeal will take effect on the specified date.
