The amendment also makes choices on some program specifics within the guidelines included in the federal legislation, such as the look-back period and the prohibition of self-attestation as to eligibility for exceptions. The minority understands the goal of ensuring that the program is not accessed fraudulently by those who do not qualify for the program, and acknowledges that a small degree of fraud will be present in any such program. However, members of the minority are concerned that in the quest to bar access by those who do not qualify, significant barriers to access are being put in the way of far more people who are qualified for the program, but who will have difficulty completing the requirements to document continued compliance with work requirements or qualification for an exception. In particular, persons with disabilities or chronic illness, older persons, persons with low health literacy, and persons who are uncomfortable with electronics will be particularly vulnerable to losing coverage for which they are qualified. For those who lose coverage, health care will be provided at far greater expense in our emergency departments and, for some, in our jails or prisons."}], "source": "House Calendar 51, 2025", "date": "2025-11-12", "dated": "signed", "cite": "HC 51", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2025%5CNo51%20December%2019%202025.pdf"}], "docket_reports": [], "report_actions": [{"before": "2025-11-12", "date": "2025-05-01", "text": "Retained in Committee"}], "veto_message": null, "bill_note": null, "subject": "Welfare/Medicare/Medicaid", "subject_source": "general court", "house_committee": "Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs", "senate_committee": "Health and Human Services", "lsr": "2026-1122", "docket_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/bill_docket.aspx?lsr=1122&sy=2026&txtsessionyear=2026&txtbillnumber=sb134&sortoption=billnumber", "documents": [{"label": "Bill text", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/billText.aspx?id=1133&txtFormat=html&sy=2026", "kind": "text"}, {"label": "Bill status page", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/Bill_status.aspx?lsr=1122&sy=2026&txtsessionyear=2026&txtbillnumber=sb134&sortoption=billnumber", "kind": "status"}, {"label": "Docket", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/bill_docket.aspx?lsr=1122&sy=2026&txtsessionyear=2026&txtbillnumber=sb134&sortoption=billnumber", "kind": "docket"}, {"label": "SC 8", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2025%5CNo%2008%20January%2030%202025.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "SC 13", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2025%5CNo%2013%20March%2013%202025.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "HC 51, page 39", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2025%5CNo51%20December%2019%202025.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "HJ 2, pages 39 and 43", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=journals%5C2026%5CHJ%2002%20January%208%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": "HJ 8, page 115", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=journals%5C2026%5CHJ%2008%20March%2012%2C%202026.pdf", "kind": "record"}], "amendments": [{"num": "2025-0401s", "kind": "Committee Amendment", "where": "committee", "date": "2025-03-06", "body": "S", "adopted": true, "vote_kind": "VV", "mover": "", "proposed_by": "", "text": "", "source": "", "targets": [], "supersedes": []}, {"num": "2025-3093h", "kind": "Committee Amendment", "where": "committee", "date": "2026-01-08", "body": "H", "adopted": true, "vote_kind": "RC", "mover": "", "proposed_by": "", "text": "Proposed by the Majority of the Committee on Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs-r Amend the bill by replacing all after the enacting clause with the following: 1 New Sections; New Hampshire Granite Advantage Health Care Program; Work Requirements.
