The "Circumcision Transparency Act (CTA)" is a proposed bill in New Hampshire that aims to regulate the informed consent process for circumcision procedures on children. It requires health care providers to present parents with a detailed informed consent form that outlines the potential benefits and risks of circumcision, alternative treatments, and the option to not treat. The form must be signed by both parents, unless one objects, in which case the circumcision cannot proceed. The bill also restricts health care providers from pressuring parents into the procedure and mandates that parents receive information on caring for an intact penis. Additionally, it clarifies that consent for the donation of foreskin tissue must be explicitly given by parents, and the form must include information on the medically unnecessary nature of circumcision and the lack of proven medical benefits.

HB 1706-FN specifies that the consent form must be in a readable format and available in multiple languages. Health care providers are required to submit their consent forms and intact care guides to the commissioner for approval within 90 days of the bill's enactment. The bill also allows registered non-profit organizations that advocate against circumcision harm to receive these forms at no cost and provide input before approval. The fiscal note acknowledges an indeterminate increase in state expenditures due to the department's new duties, without additional funding or authorization for new positions. The Department of Health and Human Services will oversee disciplinary actions for non-compliance. The bill will become effective 60 days after its passage.
