New Hampshire reviews hospice and palliative care
The law creates a temporary committee to study hospice and palliative care availability and barriers to access in New Hampshire. Its review includes people with disabilities, people receiving long-term care, people with dementia, and veterans. The House Speaker appoints three representatives, and the Senate President appoints two senators. Members receive mileage reimbursement at the legislative rate for committee duties; the law states no rate or payment amount. The law takes effect upon passage, and the committee must first meet within 45 days of that date. Members elect a chair, and three members are needed to conduct business. Findings and any recommendations for legislation are due by November 1, 2025. The report goes to the Senate President, House Speaker, both chambers’ clerks, Governor, and State Library.
