Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Workers lose state paid leave coverage
Beginning 60 days after passage, the law ends New Hampshire's Granite State paid family leave plan and insurance purchasing pool. Workers and employers lose access to that plan, and workers lose the employment protections tied to it. The law also ends the plan's premium fund, premium stabilization trust fund, and insurance premium tax deposit rules. It removes references to the plan from accident and health insurance definitions.
Employers lose paid leave tax credit
Beginning 60 days after passage, the law repeals the Business Enterprise Tax credit for employers sponsoring paid leave insurance. The credit covered 50% of qualifying premiums paid by those employers. The fiscal note links tax effects to taxable periods ending on or after December 31, 2026. It projects the earliest state revenue effects in fiscal years 2027–2028, as 2026 tax returns are filed. The amount of added state revenue is unknown.
