HB 1038 New Hampshire House · 2026 Regular Session

establishing a committee to study raising awareness of the law providing immunity from liability in certain cases involving drug overdoses.

This bill creates a committee called the "better education on life-saving action committee" to study how to improve public awareness of New Hampshire's good Samaritan law. The law protects people from legal liability when they call for medical help during a drug overdose. The committee will examine current outreach methods, identify effective ways to reach high-risk communities, and assess whether state funding could help spread the information. It must report its findings and recommendations to state leaders by November 1, 2026.
