Maddy summaryHB 772 proposes creating a "Foundation Opportunity Budget" program to set aside dedicated state funding for public K-12 schools. This program would establish a specific funding formula to allocate resources directly to school districts, aiming to address inequities in educational funding. The bill is currently under review by a committee, with its latest action being referred for an interim study (11/13/2025, vote 17-0). It does not yet have a final vote or become law.

Maddy summaryHB 742 would change how the state funds emergency special education aid by requiring these payments to come directly from the Education Trust Fund instead of other state accounts. This policy affects school districts that receive state aid for high-cost special education services, particularly for students with severe disabilities requiring intensive support. The bill's key provision is a mandatory reallocation of funding sources, ensuring these critical aid payments are prioritized from the designated education fund. As of the latest committee action (referred for interim study on November 13, 2025), the bill has not yet become law.

Maddy summaryThe bill HB 651, titled "modifying the base cost and differential aid costs of an adequate education," appears to address state education funding formulas. However, the provided context does not include specific details about the bill's provisions, mechanisms, or who it directly affects. The bill was referred to committee but was reported "Inexpedient to Legislate" by the majority committee (10-8 vote) on November 20, 2025, while the minority recommended it pass. No substantive policy changes or concrete provisions are described in the available information.

Maddy summaryHB 431 establishes a commission to study the costs associated with special education programs in the state. The commission would examine funding requirements and operational expenses affecting school districts and students with disabilities. The bill was referred to the Education Committee but was later deemed "inexpedient to legislate" by the committee on May 15, 2025, effectively halting its progress. This procedural bill does not create new programs or funding but would have directed a study into existing special education cost structures.

Maddy summaryHB 552 expands health insurance coverage under the state retiree insurance plan to include children of state retirees, directly affecting current and future retirees who have dependent children. The bill modifies the existing plan to automatically cover children without requiring additional premiums or separate applications. Signed into law by Governor Ayotte on June 2, 2025, it takes effect August 1, 2025, making this coverage permanent for eligible retirees. The change simplifies access to health insurance for retiree families without altering cost structures for participants.

Maddy summaryHouse Bill 193 addresses the maximum number of credits per course eligible for the dual and concurrent enrollment program, affecting students and educational institutions involved in these programs. The provided bill text specifically amends the effective date of the act. It stipulates that the changes related to credit maximums will take effect immediately upon the bill's passage. The precise details of how the maximum credit limits are altered are not specified in this excerpt.

Maddy summaryHB 402 amends state law to clarify that funds deposited in Education Freedom Accounts (EFAs) are not considered taxable income for parents or students at the state level. The bill directly affects families using EFA programs by removing state tax liability on these education payments. It specifies that while state taxation does not apply, federal taxation may still apply to EFA funds. This change modifies RSA 194-F:2, VI to explicitly state that EFA funds are exempt from state income tax.
