The NH State Refugee Program is 100% federally funded through the US Department of Health and Human Services (US DHHS), Administration for Children and Families, Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) and no state funds are expended. A refugee is a person who has fled his or her home country and cannot return based upon a \"well-founded fear of persecution\" due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a social group. The US has been accepting refugees as a humanitarian effort since after World War II, with the bipartisan Refugee Act of 1980 establishing the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) to help refugees integrate into their new communities. A 2024 US DHHS study found \"overwhelming positive fiscal impact stemming from the presence of refugees and asylees in the US.\" A 2023 American Immigration Council report reveals \"refugees pay billions of dollars in taxes annually and demonstrate a remarkable entrepreneurial spirit, with high rates of business ownership, citizenship attainment, and homeownership;\" refugees are \"drivers of economic growth and social progress...revitalizing cities and towns across the nation.\" Refugees are resettled in the US via a network of local resettlement agencies through direct contracts with the US Department of State. The NH State Refugee Program is an important complement that leverages its position within DHHS to improve efficiencies with other departmental programs, and provides federal pass-through money from ORR to support already-settled refugees in NH be successful in attaining economic self-sufficiency and successful integration as soon as possible following arrival. The services funded through the State Refugee Program help people learn English, get jobs, help children succeed in school, help elders, and more. Additionally, the State Refugee Program does not have to reside in state government - and it can readily be established outside of state government, should this bill pass. However, by doing away with the State Refugee Program at DHHS, we will lose the efficiencies of programmatic coordination within DHHS, as well as forfeit an important funding stream that provides essential supports through local non-governmental organizations for services that lead to self-sufficiency such as English for Speakers of Other Languages and employment-related services."}], "source": "House Calendar 10, 2026", "date": "2026-03-04", "dated": "signed", "cite": "HC 10", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2026%5CNo10%20March%206%202026.pdf"}, {"bill": "HB1706", "body": "S", "title": "", "source": "Senate committee report, released 2026-04-03", "date": "2026-04-16", "dated": "signed", "calendar": "Consent Calendar", "majority_recommendation": "INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE", "minority_recommendation": "", "reports": [{"side": "Committee", "author": "Senator Kevin Avard", "committee": "Health and Human Services", "vote_yeas": 5, "vote_nays": 0, "amendment": "", "text": "This bill repeals the refugee resettlement program in the Department of Health and Human Services and prohibits expenditure of state funds on refugee resettlement."}], "cite": "SC 14", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2026%5CNo%2014%20April%209%202026.pdf"}], "docket_reports": [], "report_actions": [], "veto_message": null, "bill_note": null, "subject": "State Government", "subject_source": "general court", "house_committee": "Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs", "senate_committee": "Health and Human Services", "lsr": "2026-2501", "docket_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/bill_docket.aspx?lsr=2501&sy=2026&txtsessionyear=2026&txtbillnumber=hb1706&sortoption=billnumber", "documents": [{"label": "Bill text", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/billText.aspx?id=1704&txtFormat=html&sy=2026", "kind": "text"}, {"label": "Bill status page", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/Bill_status.aspx?lsr=2501&sy=2026&txtsessionyear=2026&txtbillnumber=hb1706&sortoption=billnumber", "kind": "status"}, {"label": "Docket", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/bill_docket.aspx?lsr=2501&sy=2026&txtsessionyear=2026&txtbillnumber=hb1706&sortoption=billnumber", "kind": "docket"}, {"label": "HJ 1, page 32", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=journals%5C2026%5CHJ%2001%20January%207%2C%202026.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "HC 10, page 51", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2026%5CNo10%20March%206%202026.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "HJ 7, pages 195, 198 and 200", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=journals%5C2026%5CHJ%2007%20March%2011%2C%202026.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "SJ 7", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/Journals/2026/SJ%2007%20March%2026%2C%202026.PDF", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "SC 12", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2026%5CNo%2012%20March%2026%202026.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "SC 14", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2026%5CNo%2014%20April%209%202026.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "SJ 9", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/Journals/2026/SJ%2009%20April%2016%2C%202026.PDF", "kind": "record"}], "amendments": [], "billtext": {"version": "AS INTRODUCED", "title": "AN ACT repealing the refugee resettlement program in the department of health and human services and prohibiting expenditure of state funds on refugee resettlement.", "analysis": "This bill repeals the refugee resettlement program in the department of health and human services and prohibits expenditure of state funds on refugee resettlement.", "fiscal": {"lead": "This bill does not provide funding, nor does it authorize new positions.", "tables": [{"caption": "Estimated State Impact", "years": ["FY 2026", "FY 2027", "FY 2028", "FY 2029"], "rows": [{"label": "Revenue", "values": ["$0", "$0", "$0", "$0"], "span": false}, {"label": "Revenue Fund(s)", "values": ["None"], "span": true}, {"label": "Expenditures*", "values": ["$0", "($4,481,357)", "($4,499,362)", "($4,499,362)"], "span": false}, {"label": "Funding Source(s)", "values": ["Federal Funds"], "span": true}, {"label": "Appropriations*", "values": ["$0", "$0", "$0", "$0"], "span": false}, {"label": "Funding Source(s)", "values": ["None"], "span": true}], "footnote": "*Expenditure = Cost of bill *Appropriation = Authorized funding to cover cost of bill"}]}, "body": "Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:\n1 Termination of Refugee Program Administered Through the Department of Health and Human Services.\nI.

The Department states that the refugee resettlement program is entirely federally funded, and that its Office of Health Access currently administers approximately $4.5 million per year in federal funds. As a result of the bill, these funds would no longer be spent. For informational purposes, the Department's budget also contains approximately $1.7 million per year in its \"Minority Health/Refugee Affairs\" account, which is a mixture of federal and state general funds. In prior correspondence with the Office of the Legislative Budget Assistant, the Department has noted that these funds are used not for refugee resettlement, but rather for communications access for clients who are deaf, have hearing loss, or vision/speech or other impairments. For this reason, this fiscal note assumes that those funds will be unaffected by this bill.\nAGENCIES CONTACTED:\nDepartment of Health and Human Services", "in_text": [], "chars": 3805}, "nver": 0, "namd": 0, "rsa": {"RSA 161:2": "/laws/161#s2"}, "amends": {"RSA 161:2": "/laws/161#s2"}, "related": [{"g": 0, "o": "2025-2026/SB625", "n": "SB 625-FN", "t": "establishing a committee to study options for family members of intentional homicide victims where the department of justice does not file charges in a case, repealing the refugee resettlement program in the department of health and human services, and prohibiting expenditure of state funds on refugee resettlement.", "y": 2026, "c": "Died", "s": "Its language was offered as amendment 2026-1956h to {b}; the House adopted it, 156-139."}, {"g": 2, "o": "2025-2026/SB625", "n": "SB 625-FN", "t": "establishing a committee to study options for family members of intentional homicide victims where the department of justice does not file charges in a case, repealing the refugee resettlement program in the department of health and human services, and prohibiting expenditure of state funds on refugee resettlement.", "y": 2026, "c": "Died", "s": "Its text is also in {b}, a longer bill."}]}
