HB 1777: relative to the enhanced 911 system fund.

HB 1777 restricts New Hampshire's Enhanced 911 (E911) system fund to only direct 911 operations, including call delivery, dispatch, and related technology. It prohibits using the fund for commercial wireless infrastructure, unrelated public safety costs, or administrative overhead not tied to 911 services. The bill requires separate accounting for the fund, mandates repayment of misused funds within one year, and adds penalties for agencies that divert funds. Citizens can file complaints about misuse, which may lead to civil action if unresolved after 90 days.

The bill limits how these businesses can collect and use personal data from children, including preventing the use of data that might lead to repetitive use disrupting major life activities like sleeping or schoolwork. It requires businesses to verify a user's age and set default privacy settings that protect minors. The attorney general is authorized to create rules for enforcing these requirements.

HB 1656: relative to insurance coverage for pelvic health therapy.

HB 1656 requires all health insurance plans in New Hampshire to cover pelvic-floor physical therapy (PFPT) as a standard benefit for specific conditions, including urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, postpartum recovery, and pelvic pain. It mandates coverage for up to 12 weeks of supervised therapy, pre-surgery preparation (prehab), and post-surgery rehabilitation without prior authorization for initial evaluations. Insurers must report on this coverage data annually, and the insurance department will publish an annual report on insurer compliance. This directly affects residents with pelvic floor dysfunction, ensuring access to evidence-based treatments currently often excluded from coverage.

HB 1406: relative to health carrier recordkeeping requirements in utilization review, including specifications regarding the use of artificial intelligence.

HB 1406 prohibits health insurance companies (health carriers) from using artificial intelligence to override doctors' clinical decisions. Specifically, it bans AI from auditing or adjusting provider codes based on AI recommendations that would change a physician's professional judgment about patient care. Health carriers must document all AI use in claims processing and provide these records to regulators. Violations are considered unfair insurance practices, potentially resulting in fines or restitution for denied care. The law directly affects healthcare providers and insurers, taking effect January 1, 2027.

HB 1708: relative to statewide education property taxes and other tax revenues.

HB 1708 reduces the statewide education property tax (SWEPT) rate for homeowners and property owners while increasing the business profits tax rate from 7.5% to 8.5% (with 40-44.2% of this revenue directed to the education trust fund). It sets specific annual revenue targets for the SWEPT - $346 million for 2026-2027, $284 million for 2027-2028, and $273 million annually thereafter - to maintain current education funding levels. Affected parties include residential property owners (who see lower taxes) and businesses (which pay higher profits taxes), with municipalities impacted by the tax shift receiving capped compensation up to $90 million. The bill ensures no net reduction in education funding by offsetting the SWEPT cut through increased business tax revenue.

HB 1492: relative to the regulation and appeal of motor vehicle towing from public highways and relative to the removal of abandoned vehicles by law enforcement.

HB 1492 establishes a new regulatory framework for towing fees on New Hampshire state highways. It authorizes the Department of Safety to set maximum allowable fees for towing services, ensuring they are reasonable based on costs and regional standards, and requires towing companies to provide clear fee notices to vehicle owners. The bill also creates an administrative appeals process allowing vehicle owners or operators to challenge fees they deem excessive, with the Department’s final decision resolving such disputes. This directly affects towing and wrecker service providers, vehicle owners, and the Department of Safety, which would oversee fee compliance and appeals.

HB 1734: establishing a committee to study the feasibility of establishing experimental treatment centers in New Hampshire and the oversight thereof.

HB 1734 authorizes New Hampshire to establish experimental treatment centers that provide medical treatments using investigational drugs, biologics, or devices that have completed Phase 1 clinical trials but are not yet FDA-approved for general use. These centers must be approved by the Department of Health and Human Services and can only treat eligible patients who have a physician's recommendation, provided written informed consent (including discussion of alternative FDA-approved treatments and potential costs), and understand insurance may not cover the treatment. The bill creates a new legal framework distinct from existing medical licensing, requiring centers to follow specific consent protocols and safety standards documented by qualified medical institutions. It directly affects patients seeking innovative treatments, healthcare providers, and manufacturers of investigational medical products.

HB 1416: establishing a committee to study what legal protections currently exist for the freedom of expression of pregnancy resource centers and whether further First Amendment protections are needed.

HB 1416 prohibits New Hampshire state agencies, subdivisions, and municipalities from regulating pregnancy resource centers regarding abortion or contraception services. It directly affects private nonprofit pregnancy resource centers (which provide support without performing abortions or referring for abortion/contraception) and government entities that might impose such regulations. The bill bans requirements that centers offer, provide, refer for, or promote abortion, chemical abortion drugs, or contraception, and prohibits restrictions on their services based on these policies. It also allows affected centers or individuals to sue the government for violations seeking damages or court orders.

HB 1793 prohibits New Hampshire public colleges and universities from restricting the possession or carrying of firearms and non-lethal weapons (like pepper spray or stun guns) on campus. It directly affects public institutions of higher education and any student, faculty, staff, or visitor who lawfully carries such items under state law. The bill requires schools to allow constitutional carry without requiring permits or licenses and permits individuals harmed by school policies to sue for at least $10,000 in damages. This law takes effect January 1, 2027, aligning with New Hampshire’s existing constitutional carry framework.

SB 665: relative to pharmacy benefits managers, managed care laws, notice of drug pricing options and pharmacy benefit manager business practices.

SB 665 requires pharmacies to charge consumers the lowest available price for prescription drugs at the point of sale, directly affecting patients purchasing medications and pharmacies. The bill defines "lowest available price" as the minimum of the pharmacy’s cash price, the consumer’s insurance cost-sharing amount, or any available discount price at the time of transaction. Pharmacists must determine and disclose this price before completing the sale, and insurers cannot penalize pharmacies for doing so. Violations could result in disciplinary action by the pharmacy board or civil penalties up to $1,000 per violation, with the law taking effect January 1, 2027.

SB 88: prohibiting state government entities from including specified terms related to labor organization agreements in construction related contracts and grants.

SB 88 prohibits New Hampshire state government entities from requiring or banning contractors from having agreements with labor organizations in public construction contracts or grants. It directly affects state agencies awarding construction projects (like roads or buildings) and the contractors bidding on those projects. The bill removes language from contracts that could force or block labor organization agreements, ensuring contractors aren't discriminated against based on such agreements. Exceptions apply only to avoid immediate threats to public health or safety, and the bill does not stop voluntary labor agreements or affect federal labor law.

SB 488: enabling the governor to declare a state of emergency due to the failure of the legislature to pass a budget or continuing resolution to fund the New Hampshire state government by July 1 of the first year of a biennium.

This bill, SB 488, allows New Hampshire's governor to declare a state of emergency if the legislature fails to pass a budget or continuing resolution funding state government by July 1 of the first year of a biennium. During such an emergency, the governor must fully fund essential state services at the previous year's level, including the legislative and judicial branches, public safety, corrections, transportation maintenance, health care services, veterans' programs, and critical infrastructure operations. The emergency lasts 60 days initially but can be renewed up to three times for a total of 240 days. This ensures continuity of core government functions during budget delays without requiring legislative action.
