HB 392 New Hampshire House · 2025 Regular Session

directing the dissolution of the department of health and human services' office of health equity, department of environmental services' functions for civil rights and environmental justice, and the governor's council on diversity and inclusion.

HB 392 directs the state to dissolve three specific entities: the Office of Health Equity within the Department of Health and Human Services, the environmental justice and civil rights functions within the Department of Environmental Services, and the Governor's Council on Diversity and Inclusion. This bill would eliminate these offices and their mandated programs, directly affecting state agencies and their existing equity-focused initiatives. The key mechanism is the formal termination of these offices' legal authority and operations, removing their structural role in state policy implementation. The bill does not create new programs or alter funding but ends specific administrative functions related to health equity, environmental justice, and diversity coordination.
