requiring the insurance department to conduct an analysis and produce a report detailing compliance with the state's managed care and medical utilization review laws.

Maddy summaryHB 1463 requires New Hampshire's insurance department to conduct a detailed analysis of how health insurance companies comply with state laws governing managed care and medical review practices. The department must consult with community physicians and health systems across all counties to assess compliance and recommend penalties for non-compliant insurers. The report must be submitted to state leaders by November 1, 2026, and the bill does not provide new funding, potentially requiring the department to use existing resources or General Fund money for the analysis. This bill directly affects insurers, the insurance department, and healthcare providers consulted during the review.

relating to the right to abortion. Providing that all persons shall have the right to abortion prior to 24 weeks.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes adding a new article to the New Hampshire constitution to explicitly guarantee a fundamental right to abortion. It would protect this right for all individuals up to 24 weeks of pregnancy, allowing restrictions only if there is a compelling state interest addressed by the least restrictive means. After 24 weeks, the bill permits abortion if an attending physician judges it necessary based on applicable standards of care. The legislation also outlines the process for submitting this constitutional amendment to voters for a decision at the November 2024 general election.
