Maddy summarySB 130 establishes a commission to study emergency medical services (EMS) delivery models across New Hampshire. The commission, composed of legislative members, fire chiefs, ambulance associations, hospital representatives, and local government officials, will review current EMS systems, identify barriers in rural areas and for advanced care, and examine potential regional models. It must report findings and recommendations to state leaders by November 1, 2025, including options for sustainable EMS systems. The bill does not create new services or funding but directs a formal study of existing delivery challenges. This is a procedural study commission, not a policy change.
Maddy summaryHB 645 requires the Prescription Drug Affordability Board to establish a formal agreement (MOU) with the Department of Health and Human Services and other state agencies for sharing data.

Key provisions include modifying existing MOUs where possible, requiring agencies to release data upon request, and including cost-sharing terms in the agreement. The bill streamlines data access without creating new drug pricing policies or altering the Board’s core responsibilities.
