House Hearing 4/16 11:00 am GP 229 Commerce & Consumer Affairs	SB 550 🛑 OPPOSE	Insurance coverage Naturopathy providers. details: This bill requires group insurance policies issued in the state to include coverage for naturopathy providers. Health Freedom NH is NOT supporting this bill. The state has no place mandating any insurance policy. Insurance mandates increases the already absurd costs of insurance. It sets up a system that will only bankrupt “natural doctors” who will not get paid by these insurance companies anyway unless they comply with the existing and allopathic constructs. Requiring such will destroy and drive natural medicine out of business or into allopathic practice/Western Medicine. Naturopathic doctors can take insurance if they want. But government mandates drive up prices for everyone.	• Submit stance & thoughts • Attend & testify!

In years past, unfortunately several children were vaccinated in school vaccine clinics without parental consent. While this violates current law, this bill would require that school vaccine clinics occur outside of school hours and that a parent must be present. This would eliminate any future “accidents”.

Senate Session 4/16 OTP on Consent Calendar Health & Human Services OTP	HB 524 🛑 OPPOSE	relative to disbursement of funds by NHVA & establishing a study committee. details: We oppose this bill as it is unnecessary.

Executive Session TBD Health & Human Services	HB 1734 🛑 OPPOSE	authorizing the establishment of experimental treatment centers details: Health Freedom NH organizers are strongly opposed to this bill because we don’t want more money and power for the purpose of vaccine development and enterprise in NH. This legislation would welcome more influence of the Pharmacological / Medical Industrial Complex here. Think about what other states are burdened with such. Biologics = Vaccines Do you really want mRNA vaccines (biologics) developed here in New Hampshire?!! Say no to HB 1734! This bill permits the establishment of experimental treatment centers. The centers would be authorized by the department of health and human services to provide treatment involving an investigational drug, biologic, or device that has successfully completed phase one of a clinical trial, but is not yet FDA-approved for general use and either remains under investigation in a clinical trial or has a demonstrated safety record from a qualified medical institution.

ITL/Killed/Vetoed
House ITL	HB 1321 🛑OPPOSE	relative to the regulation of the provision of elective intravenous therapy. details: Paramedics and AEMTs in NH are already authorized to initiate IV access and administer medications in high-acuity, emergency environments under physician-approved standing orders. If they are trusted to perform these skills at 80 mph in a moving ambulance, they should not be prohibited from performing them in a controlled outpatient setting under physician oversight. This bill threatens: • Healthcare workforce stability • Patient access to care • Small healthcare businesses • Scope-of-practice consistency If you support maintaining access to physician-supervised IV therapy and protecting EMS professionals’ ability to work, register your opposition to HB1321. Do Democratic law-makers start their day looking for gaps where we can cram in more government regulation and oversight?

Key points/suggested commentary: • Informed Consent is a Human Right! • Mandates are unethical. • Be CLEAR, BE LOUD, BE RESPECTFUL. • AVOID debate on the science or merits of vaccines. • It DOES NOT: BAN OR LIMIT VACCINES.
House Interim Study	HB 1117 🟢SUPPORT OTPA	relative to the right of licensed health care providers to freely communicate with.. details: patients, colleagues, and the public about medical information, emerging therapies, and treatment options. This bill provides that a health care provider shall not be subject to disciplinary action, professional sanction, or civil or criminal liability for communicating with a patient, another provider, or the public about emerging medical research, experimental treatments, innovative therapies, or off-label uses of medications, provided the communication is made in good faith and not knowingly false or misleading. This bill is a free speech in medicine bill.

House Interim Study	HB 1804 🟢SUPPORT (off topic, but important to many of us)	consolidating school administrative units, making chief school administrator jobs an elected position, and defining education roles. details: This bill: I. Consolidates the authority and duties of school administrative units. II. Empowers school boards to develop, evaluate, and implement school curriculums. III. Makes chief school administrators elected officials. Republicans are fighting to consolidate bloated School Administrative Units (SAUs) that are draining taxpayer dollars with excessive administrative overhead. While Democrats protect the education bureaucracy, we’re working to streamline administration and put more money directly into classrooms where it belongs. HB 1804 would create real accountability by consolidating SAUs and reducing administrative waste. New Hampshire families deserve efficient schools, not bureaucratic empires. 107 Administrative Offices – wouldn’t it make sense to consolidate to 12. -process payroll -Human resources -accounts payable -Contract management – Open Bids -Medicaid billing School boards would not be affected. Huge savings in administrative cost!
