relative to establishing a committee to study the New Hampshire board of medicine and making an appropriation to the department of health and human services.

This bill creates a new committee to study the New Hampshire Board of Medicine and allocates funds to the Department of Health and Human Services. The committee will consist of four state representatives, with two appointed by the Speaker from specific health and executive committees, ensuring representation from both major political parties. The funding provided to nursing facilities comes with conditions requiring that at least one original owner maintain a significant ownership stake for five years, that the facility follows all licensing rules, and that it continues to accept Medicaid payments. If a facility fails to meet these requirements, the state has the right to recover a portion of the funds it distributed to that facility.
