HB1784

Establishes a health care consumer protection trust fund for proceeds from health care organization acquisitions.

New Hampshire HB1784 establishes a health care consumer protection trust fund to receive proceeds from health care organization acquisitions. The fund is separate from other state funds and is nonlapsing. Eligible projects must have measurable patient-outcome objectives. Grants or contracts must include milestone-based disbursements and reporting schedules. The attorney general administers the fund, with expenditures requiring approval from the health care consumer protection advisory commission and the governor. Fund moneys cannot be used for academic research.
