HB 65: directing landlords to offer tenants the option of reporting rental payments to consumer reporting agencies.

HB 65 requires landlords to offer tenants the option of having their rent payments reported to credit bureaus. This directly affects landlords who would need to provide this option and tenants who could use rent payments to build credit. The key provision mandates landlords to inform tenants about this reporting opportunity, making it a choice for tenants rather than an automatic requirement. The bill is currently in committee review, having been referred for interim study with a 16-0 committee vote. It does not require landlords to report payments, only to offer the option to tenants.

HB 604: relative to a loan forgiveness program for low-income homeowners to build new accessory dwelling units or renovate existing structures into accessory dwelling units.

HB 604 would create a loan forgiveness program for low-income homeowners who build new accessory dwelling units (ADUs) or convert existing structures (like garages) into ADUs. It directly affects qualifying low-income homeowners in the state by covering the cost of their loans for these projects, reducing financial barriers. The key mechanism is that approved homeowners would not need to repay the loan after completing the ADU construction or renovation. This policy aims to increase housing options through secondary units without requiring repayment from eligible residents.

HB 519: making an appropriation to the department of health and human services to fund and support the Waypoint youth and young adult shelter.

HB 519 allocates state funds to the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) specifically to support the Waypoint youth and young adult shelter, directly benefiting homeless or at-risk youth in need of housing and services. The bill also adds a new provision prohibiting DHHS from entering contracts with any hospital found violating the Patients' Bill of Rights (RSA 151:21). This means DHHS must ensure hospitals it partners with fully comply with patient rights protections before approving contracts. The measure combines direct funding for youth shelter services with a safeguard to uphold healthcare consumer rights.

Key provisions include direct budget transfers for specific infrastructure projects, prioritizing communities with the most urgent needs as identified by the department.

HB 359: prohibiting denial of banking and insurance services based on any factor that is not quantitative, impartial, and risk-based as measured by an objective standard.

HB 359 prohibits banks and insurance companies from denying services based on non-risk factors (like race, gender, or zip code), requiring them to use only objective, risk-based metrics (such as credit scores or accident history) for decisions. It directly affects financial institutions and their customers by mandating transparent, data-driven underwriting standards. Key provisions require institutions to justify any service denial using quantifiable risk data, not subjective or discriminatory criteria. The bill is currently pending in committee, referred for further study after a committee vote (15-2) on October 28, 2025.

HB 186 proposes legalizing recreational cannabis for adults 21 and older, establishing a state-regulated market with business licensing requirements, and imposing taxes to fund state programs like public health initiatives. It would replace criminal penalties for possession with civil fines, create a regulatory framework for cultivation and sales, and allocate funds for social equity programs. The bill is currently pending in committee after a majority committee report recommended passage (10-7), but it has not yet become law.

HB 312: relative to the right of intercollegiate student-athletes to earn compensation through the use of their name, image, or likeness.

HB 312 would allow college student-athletes in the state to earn compensation for the use of their name, image, or likeness (NIL), such as through endorsements or personal branding deals. It directly affects student-athletes at public and private colleges within the state by removing current restrictions that prevent them from monetizing their personal brand. The key provision requires athletic departments and institutions to establish clear, transparent processes for student-athletes to secure and manage NIL agreements without penalty. This policy change aligns with similar laws in other states, aiming to provide athletes with direct financial opportunities tied to their public identity.

HB 454: requiring that retailers of fuel blends with 15% ethanol also offer fuel blends with 10% or lower ethanol content.

This directly affects gas stations and retailers that currently sell E15, mandating they provide lower-ethanol options alongside higher blends. The key provision is a mandatory availability requirement for the lower-ethanol fuel, giving consumers more choice between fuel types. The bill focuses on altering retail fuel offerings without specifying additional environmental or economic impacts.

HB 241: relative to treatment alternatives to opioids.

HB 241 addresses opioid treatment alternatives, focusing on expanding access to non-opioid pain management options. The bill aims to directly affect patients with chronic pain and healthcare providers by establishing new guidelines for treatment referrals. Key provisions include requiring health insurers to cover FDA-approved non-opioid alternatives and creating a state-funded pilot program for community health centers to implement these alternatives. The committee report (10/28/2025, 17-0) recommended passage with an amendment, but the bill's specific mechanisms beyond these general requirements are not detailed in the provided context.

HB 297: relative to providing self-funded employer health benefit plans access to their claims data.

HB 297 allows self-funded employers (those managing their own health insurance without a traditional insurer) to access annual reports of their health plan's claims data. Employers must opt in in writing to receive these de-identified, aggregated reports from health insurers or third-party administrators. Insurers must annually notify employers about this option, explaining privacy protections and the benefits of participating. The bill does not require employers to report data or change how their health plans are administered.
