establishing a committee to study palliative and hospice care in New Hampshire.

SB 248 creates a legislative committee to study New Hampshire's current palliative and hospice care systems. The committee will examine how these services operate, including access, quality, and patient needs across the state. This bill does not change existing laws or provide new funding; it only establishes a formal process for gathering information. The committee's findings may inform future legislative decisions, but the bill itself only creates the study mechanism. It became law on June 23, 2025, after being signed by the governor.
