Busy Legislative Session Forecasted for NHNPA
Fueled by a team of dedicated Government Affairs Committee members, Board members, and our paid lobbyists, NHNPA is well-positioned for another successful legislative session.

What happened this week at the NH State House
Yesterday was a very good day in the House. The Democrats only had 3 members absent – the Republicans were missing 8. Attendance matters! Medicaid expansion (SB 263) passed the House, after 4 hours and after over 35 floor amendments were debated and voted on. The final version adopted, by a vote of 193 to 166, has no sunset provision.
