repealing certain outreach and marketing requirements under the Granite State paid family leave plan.
HB 517 repeals two specific requirements in New Hampshire law that mandated state outreach and marketing efforts to promote the Granite State Paid Family Leave program. It removes RSA 21-I:108, II and RSA 282-B:6, II, which previously required the state to conduct certain awareness campaigns. This change eliminates the obligation for the state to engage in promotional activities related to the paid family leave plan, taking effect 60 days after enactment. The bill directly affects how the state communicates about the program but does not alter the leave benefits or eligibility itself.
