Remove from Table (Rep. H. Howard)

March 11, 2026 · House · 130–186, failed

Decided on a division vote. Only the outcome was recorded — there is no count of how any member voted.

Committee reports

Reproduced from the House Calendar in the committee’s own words.

Majority — INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE

Rep. Lisa Mazur

Although safeguarding patient privacy is essential, this proposal is overly broad and largely duplicates existing protections under laws like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. The prime sponsor has indicated one of their primary concerns is potential actions by the current administration, but state law should not be rewritten based on fear of a particular federal administration. As drafted, the bill could unintentionally disrupt Medicaid funding, public health reporting, and other federally coordinated services — creating confusion and barriers to care without meaningfully strengthening privacy protections. Vote 11-7.

Minority — OUGHT TO PASS

Rep. Lucy Weber

Privacy has always been of particular concern to Granite Staters — so much so that we passed a constitutional amendment guaranteeing it several years ago. This bill reinforces our constitution and various other sources of patient health care data, state and federal, by creating one simple, overarching statement that includes the full extent of protection for this most personal of data. The very real possibility of discrimination on the basis of a disclosure of such personal information to unauthorized persons requires that we must do all we can to limit the possible risk of such disclosure.
