On January 8, 2025, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signed House Bill 5159 (“H.5159”) into law, marking a notable expansion of the regulation of private equity investments within the Massachusetts healthcare sector. The legislation, set to take effect on April 8, 2025, introduces new measures to enhance transparency and accountability in healthcare transactions, focusing specifically on private equity firms, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), and management services organizations (“MSOs”).
