Complete·7/9/26

New Hampshire SB453 authorizes advanced practice registered nurses and physician associates to make certain certifications.

New Hampshire SB453 amends RSA 266:61-a, VII to allow advanced practice registered nurses and physician associates to issue equipment waivers for disabled individuals, provided there is a lasting medical necessity. The waiver period is limited to a maximum of four years, with the option to reapply before it expires. Additionally, the bill modifies RSA 141-C:20-c, I to permit these professionals to certify immunization exemptions for children, based on the physician's opinion that the immunization would be detrimental to the child's health. The exemption duration is determined by the physician.
