Health: other; office of primary care transformation; establish. Creates new act. TIE BAR WITH: HB 6289’26
Key claim: This House bill would create a new Michigan Office of Primary Care Transformation and is tied so it cannot take effect unless companion bill HB 6289 also passes.
Abstract
(HB6290 · 103rd Legislature) Health: other; office of primary care transformation; establish. Creates new act. TIE BAR WITH: HB 6289’26 Sponsor: Rep. Matt Longjohn (D) + 21 co-sponsors In committee: H Health Policy Latest action (2026-09-01): Bill Electronically Reproduced 08/27/2026
Why this matters
Creating a state Office of Primary Care Transformation would establish a permanent administrative locus for primary care policy in Michigan, potentially coordinating spending targets, workforce, and access reforms across Medicaid and commercial markets. The tie-bar to HB 6289 means the Office’s fate is linked to a companion measure, so neither takes effect alone. As introduced legislation, it has no operative effect yet but signals a structural direction for the state’s health system.
