New Hampshire HB1640 requires school districts to obtain written parental consent before accessing a child's or parent's public benefits or insurance for the first time. The bill mandates that the departments of education and health and human services adopt rules for yearly one-time permissive billing releases by parents or legal guardians. These rules apply to Medicaid and expanded Medicaid services related to a child's individualized education program or Section 504 plan. If a child moves to a new school district, the new district must seek a new consent form.
