SB425 2026-0579s: Senator David Roer, Senate District 1 Support00:05:08.240 - 8:00:54 AM; Senator Roer introduces the non-germane amendment 2026-0579s to SB 425 as a replace-all amendment for New Hampshire to join the Multi-state Physician Associate Licensure Compact. He explains that it allows PAs to practice across member states like physicians and nurses, streamlining licensure without changing scope of practice. He highlights benefits for healthcare workforce in New Hampshire's rural and interconnected region, noting Maine's participation and Massachusetts's pending action. The amendment aligns with federal rural health transformation grant commitments, introduced late due to grant timelines.
SB425 2026-0579s: Michael Bartlett, American Academy of PAs Support00:10:14.000 - 8:06:00 AM; Michael Bartlett provides details on the PA Compact, an interstate licensure agreement enacted in 21 states including Maine and Connecticut, under consideration in 15 more. It uses mutual recognition, allowing PAs with a home state license to obtain compact privileges for practice in remote states. Benefits include reduced licensure burdens, expanded opportunities, improved care continuity, support for military spouses, and regulatory efficiencies like shared data. It preserves state authority, does not alter scope of practice, and complements reciprocity laws. Joining fulfills rural health grant commitments to enhance PA mobility in underserved areas.
SB425 2026-0579s: Dave Kuzy, New Hampshire Society of Physician Associates Support00:15:17.279 - 8:11:03 AM; Dave Kuzy represents the New Hampshire Society of Physician Associates, endorsing the compact on behalf of 1100 PAs and students from Franklin Pierce University in Lebanon and Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences in Manchester. He defers to Bartlett's details but affirms appreciation for the committee's consideration of impacts on New Hampshire PAs.
SB425 2026-0579s: Patricia Tilly, Associate Commissioner, Department of Health and Human Services Support00:16:13.600 - 8:11:59 AM; Patricia Tilly, with David Shy from Go North, supports the amendment for expanding rural care access, aligning with workforce trends showing 15% PA growth in rural areas, speeding recruitment including for military families, preserving state authority, and fulfilling CMS rural health transformation grant commitments. The grant awarded $24 million in year one, with joining the compact boosting future funding by meeting streamlined licensure goals.
SB425 2026-0579s: David Shy, Director, Governor's Office of Rural Transformational Health Support00:16:13.600 - 8:11:59 AM; David Shy explains the five-year $24 million rural health transformation grant, where committing to the PA Compact earned extra points for streamlined licensure. Implementation by 2027 is required to maintain funding; failure reduces awards. It supports workforce development to increase primary care access in rural areas, enhancing outcomes and grant competitiveness.
HB1025: Representative Kraton Information Only00:26:03.279 - 8:21:49 AM; Representative Kraton introduces HB 1025 to clean up language in statutes, updating references from New Hampshire National Guard to the Department of Military Affairs and Veteran Services.
HB1025: Nicole Bixler, Deputy Adjutant General, Department of Military Affairs and Veteran Services Information Only00:27:19.039 - 8:23:05 AM; Nicole Bixler confirms the bill cleans up language to reflect the current department name, echoing the introducer's points.
HB1101: Representative Jim Kraton, Hillsboro County District 30 Support00:28:01.679 - 8:23:47 AM; Representative Kraton introduces House Bill 1101, which expands the Governor's Council from four to five members to avoid ties in voting. The bill also clarifies the council's role in administering the New Hampshire First for Veterans program, which collects funds via license plates with minimal bureaucracy.
HB1101: Nicole Bixler, Deputy Adjutant General, Department of Military Affairs and Veterans Services Support00:30:05.279 - 8:25:51 AM; Nicole Bixler supports the bill, noting the current four-member State Veterans Council and the need for a fifth member to support HB 1415, which creates a veteran honor license plate to fund the First for Veterans program. The council will administer and distribute these funds efficiently.
HB1101: Committee Discussion Vote00:31:12.000 - 8:26:58 AM; The committee discusses and clarifies the bill's language, including the fifth member's qualification as a family member of a veteran. A motion to pass is made and seconded, with no opposition, resulting in consent passage.
HB1025: Committee Discussion Vote00:32:24.159 - 8:28:10 AM; Motion to pass HB 1025 is made by Senator Mcu and seconded by Senator Reard. With no discussion or opposition, it passes on consent.
SB425 2026-0579s: Committee Discussion Vote00:32:24.159 - 8:28:10 AM; Senator Mcu moves ought to pass with amendment 2026-0579s, seconded by Senator Riden. Discussion highlights the compact's well-written nature, confining discipline to the remote state without overreach. The amendment passes unanimously, followed by ought to pass as amended on consent.
HB1152: Representative Jim Kraton, Hillsboro County District 30 Support00:34:50.960 - 8:30:36 AM; Representative Kraton introduces HB 1152, which makes donations to the Department of Military Affairs and Veterans Services non-lapsing, allowing funds to be used year-to-year for intended veteran support purposes instead of lapsing at year-end.
HB1152: Nicole Bixler, Deputy Adjutant General, Department of Military Affairs and Veterans Services Support00:35:53.839 - 8:31:39 AM; Nicole Bixler explains no funds have lapsed yet, but current practices require workarounds, like direct donations of items (e.g., a scoreboard in Pembroke) to avoid lapsing. The bill would make donations non-lapsing and continually appropriated, aiding programs like New Hampshire First for Veterans without financial impact to the general fund.
HB1152: Committee Discussion Vote00:37:44.320 - 8:33:30 AM; Motion to pass is made by Senator Re and seconded by Senator Mcu. Discussion confirms the bill's straightforward nature with no amendments and no financial impact. It passes on consent with no opposition.
Unclear: Committee Discussion Information Only00:38:49.599 - 8:34:35 AM; The committee reviews remaining bills: SB 470 (expungement) and SB 640 (AI) are not ready due to ongoing language work; SB 570 is on hold until after the legislative ethics committee in early March. SB 425 was already handled. They recess for four minutes until 9:40.
HB392 amended version: Representative Mike Belchure, Carroll County District 4, Wakefield Support00:44:11.599 - 8:39:57 AM; Representative Belchure introduces the amended HB 392 to dissolve the Office of Health Access (formerly Health Equity) and environmental justice program, citing fiscal savings beyond the noted $100,000, including potential $4 million in grants affected by federal Executive Order 13985 ending DEI and environmental justice programs. He references COVID-19 investigations revealing resource allocation based on race and gender via this office, contravening ethics and law. The office promotes critical race and gender theories, connects to radical NGOs, and uses disparate impact to block industry. Carveouts preserve required federal services like language access and disability accommodations.
HB392 amended version: Representative Lucy Weber, Chester 2 (Walpole and Surry) Oppose00:50:44.400 - 8:46:30 AM; Representative Weber opposes HB 392 as unnecessary, noting the office facilitates healthcare access for those with barriers, such as language interpreters for non-English speakers or the deaf community. Abolishing it ignores ongoing needs. Preventive care through this office saves Medicaid costs long-term by avoiding expensive emergency treatments, making dissolution pennywise and pound foolish. Environmental services issues were resolved via contract review.
HB392 amended version: Representative Timothy Han, Stratford County District 10 (Durham) Oppose00:53:30.960 - 8:49:16 AM; Representative Han opposes HB 392, which seeks to eliminate the Office of Health Access. He sponsored a failed amendment last year to prevent its renaming from Office of Health Equity, but now supports the current structure. He argues the office performs necessary functions, including supporting refugees, and eliminating it would jeopardize over $80 million in federal funding. He urges the committee to find the bill inexpedient to legislate and not pass it.
HB392 amended version: Ann Landry, Associate Commissioner, Department of Health and Human Services Oppose00:58:28.880 - 8:54:14 AM; Associate Commissioner Landry opposes the amended HB 392, emphasizing the Office of Health Access's role as a centralized coordinating body essential for achieving DHHS's mission of optimal health and well-being. The office ensures compliance with federal and state laws on communication access and disabilities, engages communities to facilitate care, and oversees the refugee resettlement program. Dispersing its functions would eliminate efficient coordination, hindering services for rural seniors, deaf individuals, children with mental health issues, and others. It provides critical support like transportation and real-time problem-solving, and its elimination would jeopardize federal funding without savings.
HB392 amended version: Isidora Rodriguez Leandre, Executive Director, New Hampshire Council on Developmental Disabilities Oppose01:06:07.760 - 9:01:53 AM; Isidora Rodriguez Leandre opposes the bill on behalf of the NH Council on Developmental Disabilities, a federally funded agency advocating for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities facing access barriers in health services, transportation, and housing. The office ensures proper communication access and serves as a single point of contact for real-time decisions and best practices, amplifying community-based services. Centralizing functions is more efficient and less duplicative than dispersing them, as supported by the governor's commission report. She notes the bill's claimed $100,000 savings ignores unknown financial impacts from lost federal grants and matching funds, such as higher costs for contracting out programs like refugee resettlement.
HB392 amended version: Henry Harris, Managing Director, International Institute of New England (Manchester) Oppose01:11:00.560 - 9:06:46 AM; Henry Harris opposes HB 392, highlighting the Office of Health Access's vital role in providing state guidance and oversight for federally contracted refugee resettlement programs. His organization serves legal refugees with job training, health services, and other supports that contribute to the economy through taxes. The office offers efficient, real-time assistance, ensuring compliance with heavy federal requirements and passing audits without issues. Breaking it up would create bureaucracy, strain other departments, confuse services, and reduce funding opportunities without savings, unlike less responsive systems in other states.
HB392 amended version: Amy Moore, Vice President of External Relations, Asendria Care Oppose01:15:08.159 - 9:10:54 AM; Amy Moore opposes the bill, drawing on 18 years of experience with DHHS. Asendria Care, a 150-year-old nonprofit, relies on the office for instant help in serving vulnerable populations through home care programs. The office ensures access for those unable to attend hearings and provides crucial oversight for time-critical work in areas like elder abuse investigations and child welfare by the Bureau of Elderly and Adult Services and Division of Children, Youth and Families, where access barriers can be life-or-death. She views the bill as unnecessary 'death by a thousand cuts' harming the most vulnerable, as the lean office is highly effective.
HB392 amended version: Kathy Bernay, Durham, NH Oppose01:18:10.880 - 9:13:56 AM; Kathy Bernay testified as a private citizen from Durham, NH, opposing HB 392, specifically the proposal to eliminate the office of health access, which includes the state refugee program. She countered the sponsor's narrative of Marxist ideology and divisive policy, providing no evidence of harm, by emphasizing that resettlement work is practical support for human beings rebuilding lives, not theoretical or cultural. She described refugees' legal paths to citizenship, their long waits in camps, and arrival with nothing, often unaware of their destination like New Hampshire. Using a personal example, she shared the story of her friend Donna, who arrived with her family, learned English, earned an RN degree, and now works as a nurse in Nashua, with her family owning a home, paying taxes, and active in the community. Bernay highlighted the office's role in ensuring compliant contract delivery, managing complex cases, coordinating benefits, and providing healthcare access. She noted that eliminating the office would remove structure, coordination, and accountability, and briefly mentioned HB1706's broader elimination of refugee funding but refocused on HB392. She urged preserving the system for lawful residents to access services while building stable lives, as refugees face fear amid confusing policies.
HB392 amended version: Clement Kugu, Executive Director, Overcomers Refugee Services, Concord, NH Oppose01:25:02.560 - 9:20:48 AM; Clement Kugu, a US citizen and asylum seeker from Rwanda since 2006, testified from Concord, NH, where he has lived for 19 years as a husband, father of six, taxpayer, and executive director of Overcomers Refugee Services. He explained that refugees flee war, violence, and persecution, not by choice, arriving via asylum, humanitarian parole, or the US refugee resettlement program after 15-20 years in camps. Unlike immigrants, refugees cannot return home without risking death. Sharing his personal story, he described feeling safe upon arrival, sleeping without fear, and his children starting school—four now graduated and working, two in college, with none on government assistance; they work and pay taxes. He founded Overcomers after seeing needs in the refugee community while at Asentria, with the mission to help refugees succeed and contribute to New Hampshire. He stressed the office of health access's critical coordinating role in properly managing federal refugee funds, providing structure, accountability, and guidance to nonprofits, state agencies, and partners to avoid duplication and ensure no families are left behind. Eliminating the office would hinder these efforts.
HB392 amended version: Unnamed Speaker (Refugee Advocate) Oppose01:28:12.159 - 9:23:58 AM; The speaker argues that eliminating the Office of Health Access will reduce the need for coordination, create confusion, weaken federal fund usage for workforce integration, remove institutional knowledge, and increase fear among refugee families already dealing with trauma. They emphasize the need for stability to allow families to achieve independence and contribute economically, urging the committee to oppose HB 392.
HB392 amended version: Sam Hawkins, NAMI New Hampshire Oppose01:30:14.000 - 9:26:00 AM; Sam Hawkins from NAMI New Hampshire expresses gratitude for past progress in mental health services but warns that dissolving the Office of Health Access would jeopardize this by increasing redundancy, administrative burden, and worsening outcomes. The office provides crucial technical assistance, support, and strategic leadership for initiatives like certified community behavioral health clinics and rural health transformation, encouraging opposition to HB 392.
HB392 amended version: Deborah Shakar, New Hampshire Charitable Foundation Oppose01:32:29.040 - 9:28:15 AM; Deborah Shakar represents the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, which funds health and well-being grants and partners with state government. They oppose the bill, highlighting the office's role in coordinating services, providing training, and ensuring compliance with federal law, especially for mental and behavioral health. Eliminating it would diffuse responsibility, impair service delivery, increase costs, and risk litigation, urging the committee to oppose HB 392.
HB392 amended version: Laura Anna Toronto, Greater Nashua Mental Health Oppose01:36:26.000 - 9:32:12 AM; Laura Anna Toronto, a deaf therapist at Greater Nashua Mental Health, strongly opposes the bill, emphasizing its critical role in providing accommodations for deaf, hard of hearing, deaf-blind, and disabled individuals, including ASL users facing language barriers and language deprivation. The office ensures compliance, education, and collaboration across DHHS, preventing isolation, increasing emergency room use, and potential civil rights issues. Losing it would lead to ineffective services, delays, higher costs, and diminished trust, imploring support for the office's continuation.
HB392 amended version: Heidi Tmarco, Conservation Law Foundation Oppose01:41:59.199 - 9:37:45 AM; Heidi Tmarco from the Conservation Law Foundation opposes HB 392, focusing on the environmental justice provision. Prohibiting the use of 'environmental justice' won't improve outcomes but will harm communities bearing disproportionate environmental burdens, especially rural ones in the North Country. EJ promotes fairness, participation, and transparency in decision-making without acting as a veto, and removing it hinders community involvement and equity.
HB392 amended version: Rebecca Wikovsky, New Futures Oppose01:45:52.639 - 9:41:38 AM; Rebecca Wikovsky from New Futures shares a story from advocate Tracy from Campton about her veteran father with profound hearing loss, who benefited from the office's support in obtaining assistive communication technology and educating staff at veterans' homes. This prevented isolation and depression. Dissolving the office would have negative consequences for New Hampshire residents, urging strong opposition to HB 392.
HB392 amended version: Mackenzie Nicholson, Moms Rising New Hampshire Oppose01:47:49.040 - 9:43:35 AM; Mackenzie Nicholson from Moms Rising shares experiences of families struggling with healthcare navigation, emphasizing that the Office of Health Access ensures coordinated, accessible services for behavioral health, language access, and more. Dissolving it would fragment the system, increase barriers, lead to missed care, and signal inadequate support for postpartum mental health, substance abuse, and family needs. Families deserve built-in access, not minimum federal requirements, urging opposition to HB 392. She responds to a question by noting that scattering services would make programs fail by hindering access, allowing detractors to claim underuse.
HB392 amended version: Dylan Hoey, New Hampshire Alliance of Immigrants and Refugees Oppose01:54:58.639 - 9:50:44 AM; Dylan Hoey, director of the New Hampshire Alliance of Immigrants and Refugees, opposes HB 392, which would dissolve the Office of Health Access. He emphasizes that health equity transcends politics, citing bipartisan support for issues like childhood lead poisoning and safe drinking water. He notes that nearly every state has such an office, established under bipartisan leadership, and warns that eliminating it could lead to loss of federal funds and non-compliance with federal statutes. The bill would also disrupt refugee services for thousands of federally resettled individuals, including those who aided the US government, sending a message that immigrants and refugees are unwelcome in New Hampshire despite their contributions.
HB392 amended version: Kelly Osborne Oppose01:58:15.119 - 9:54:01 AM; Kelly Osborne, a voting constituent working as an interpreter, language access coordinator, and former case manager at New Hampshire's first Certified Community Behavioral Health Center, and married to a DCF staff member, opposes HB 392. She highlights fiscal risks including potential loss of up to $100 million in federal funding due to non-compliance with civil rights laws, increased administrative costs from restructuring, negligible savings of about $169,000 compared to millions at risk, and heightened litigation liabilities under the ADA and Civil Rights Act. Using her workplace as an example, she argues that centralizing services like language access is more efficient than decentralizing to 11 district offices, which would incur high training and productivity costs. She warns of expensive lawsuits for violations, with fines up to $150,000 per incident, underscoring that the bill prioritizes ideology over fiscal responsibility.
HB392 amended version: Kathy Stratton, New Hampshire Medical Society Oppose02:06:21.760 - 10:02:07 AM; Kathy Stratton, CEO of the New Hampshire Medical Society representing over 2,000 physicians, opposes HB 392. She values the Office of Health Access for coordinating and reducing barriers to timely and efficient healthcare, including mental and physical health services. The office ensures early intervention and appropriate care, addressing barriers critically. She urges the committee to oppose the bill to maintain essential access to these vital services.
HB1193: Representative Charlie St. Clair, Laconia Support02:09:35.599 - 10:05:21 AM; Representative Charlie St. Clair introduces HB 1193 to name the 911 center after Bruce Cheney, highlighting his lifelong public service post-Marines, including 23 years developing New Hampshire's 911 system starting in 1993. Cheney visited 232 cities and towns to implement addressing, pioneered medical emergency integration into 911 (first in the nation), and launched the system on budget within two years. St. Clair emphasizes Cheney's dedication and the appropriateness of honoring him by naming the Laconia facility after him.
HB1193: Mark Doyle, Division of Emergency Services and Communications, Department of Safety Support02:12:28.079 - 10:08:14 AM; Mark Doyle, director of the Division of Emergency Services and Communications, supports HB 1193 to honor Bruce Cheney, who led the enhanced 911 system's development from the early 1990s for 23 years until retirement. Cheney standardized emergency communications across landlines, mobiles, and IP phones, improving public safety infrastructure. The new Laconia facility, under construction and ARPA-funded, will replace the current one by year's end, providing a purpose-built space for 50+ years. Naming it after Cheney recognizes his civic service, inspires future generations, and underscores the Public Safety Answering Point's value.
HB?: Representative Lauren Selig Support02:17:47.519 - 10:13:33 AM; Representative Lauren Selig introduces the bill to extend the Holocaust and Genocide Education Commission for three years. As a member, she describes its work to ensure proper education on genocide definitions and the Holocaust, including a recent survey of over 80 teachers on teaching practices and needs. The commission is developing staff training and partnerships with the Cohen Institute at Keene State University to provide resources like primary sources for various genocides (Holocaust, Rwanda, Bosnia, Armenia). This aligns with state education rules, facilitating teacher collaborations and statewide distribution via the Department of Education. Selig stresses the importance of this education, citing a contentious prior presentation, and notes the commission's diverse membership including survivors' descendants and experts.
HB1162: Representative Timothy Han, Durham Support02:24:52.880 - 10:20:38 AM; Representative Han endorses the bill, noting he lives near the previous speaker. He praises the commission's valuable work and supports extending it for at least three more years to complete its report, suggesting it might need even longer as genocide education is ongoing. He emphasizes the Holocaust's significance in American history, including U.S. troops liberating concentration camps, and urges quick passage of the bill to the Senate.
HB1162: Kathy Brunet, Durham Support02:26:58.640 - 10:22:44 AM; Kathy Brunet, a citizen from Durham, stresses the responsibility to remember history honestly. She highlights how the Holocaust and other genocides illustrate the dangers of normalized prejudice, lies replacing facts, and failing democratic institutions. She supports the commission for protecting historical truths and ensuring accurate education, viewing it as non-political education, dignity, and civic responsibility.
HB1162: Clement, refugee from Rwanda Support02:28:36.160 - 10:24:22 AM; Clement, a refugee from Rwanda affected by the 1994 genocide as a Tutsi, shares his experience working with victims. He emphasizes the importance of educating the new generation, noting how education in Rwanda transformed perceptions from dehumanizing Tutsis as cockroaches to recognizing their humanity. He argues learning about the past helps understand the present and is crucial for children from genocide-affected countries, supporting the bill to educate about genocide and the Holocaust.
HB1162: Committee Vote02:30:39.040 - 10:26:25 AM; The committee moves to pass HB1162 on consent calendar with no discussion or opposition.
HB392: Committee Chair Vote02:31:36.640 - 10:27:22 AM; The chair moves Inexpedient to Legislate (ITL) on HB392, recognizing the bill's intent but stating it would cause significant harm to community members needing the agency's services and not be in New Hampshire citizens' best interest. The motion passes on consent with no further discussion.
HB1193: Committee Vote02:32:31.520 - 10:28:17 AM; The committee moves to pass HB1193 as a great tribute to an important community member who recently ran for mayor. Brief discussion confirms he is alive. The motion passes on consent.
