HB 1720 New Hampshire House · 2026 Regular Session

relative to notice to child day care providers of child care scholarships.

HB 1720 requires New Hampshire's Department of Health and Human Services to notify licensed child care providers electronically within 3 business days when a family applies for a child care scholarship naming that provider. The notice must include the child's name, anticipated start date (if provided), and the application's pending status. It also mandates follow-up electronic notifications within 3 business days if the application is approved, denied, or withdrawn. This bill directly affects licensed child care providers and the state agency managing the scholarship program, streamlining communication about scholarship applications. The law specifies secure electronic transmission and does not alter funding or eligibility criteria.
