This is sneaky and dishonest: "Appropriation; Provisional Eligibility. The sum of $1 is hereby appropriated for the biennium ending June 30, 2027, to the department of health and human services for the purposes of funding provisional eligibility expenses RSA 167:8. The governor is authorized to draw a warrant for said sum out of money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated."

I have Autistic Twins who someday will require to be cared for. They are very much susceptible to being taken advantage of and abused. One of my fears when I am gone from this earth

this bill expands privacy rights of people after experiencing a miscarriage. Why is this even necessary? Because there is an attempt to pry into medical records of women who have had a miscarriage to make sure it wasn’t a pregnancy termination! This bill helps families grieve in peace without prying eyes using personal information to figure out who lost a pregnancy.
