Maddy summaryThis bill requires medical professionals certifying deaths in New Hampshire to include specific immunization details, such as vaccine names and dates, on death certificates for individuals who received shots in the current year or the two years prior. It also mandates that the state health department publish quarterly and annual reports detailing deaths occurring within various timeframes after vaccination, broken down by demographics and vaccine type. Additionally, the legislation establishes a process for independent, random audits of these reports by non-governmental experts to ensure data accuracy and privacy compliance. The bill applies to all deaths occurring on or after January 1, 2020, and would become effective 60 days after its passage.
Maddy summaryHB 1488 establishes a new Municipal Hazard Mitigation Funding Program to help New Hampshire towns repair infrastructure and prevent damage from future natural disasters. The bill authorizes an initial $2 million transfer from state funds to support municipalities that have existing hazard mitigation plans but lack the money to implement them. To receive grants, towns must apply once per year for up to $50,000, providing details on specific projects and proving they cannot afford the work themselves. The program requires the state to review applications within 60 days and mandates that recipients complete their projects within three months of receiving funds. Additionally, the bill modifies the state disaster relief fund to allow it to be used for hazard mitigation projects and creates a committee to oversee individual and municipal assistance requests.
