House seeks study of statewide clinical-claims data system; Senate sought immediate codified integration
Summary
Conference negotiators disagreed on whether to require AHS to build an integrated statewide clinical-and-claims data system or to direct AHS to study feasibility and report back; House language would bar implementation without later legislation and sets a January 15, 2026 report date.
