ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — A measure to further implement federal health care reform in Maryland passed the House of Delegates on a 93-43 vote Monday with little debate.

The measure creates a dedicated funding stream for the Maryland Health Benefit Exchange, which is a new insurance market that will offer residents a choice of private health plans. While the exchange is on track to be up and running by Jan. 1 with federal help in the first year, the state will begin paying roughly $24 million in fiscal year 2015. The money will come from an existing 2 percent tax on insurance plans that are state-regulated.
