The bill introduces an exemption for physicians licensed in another state from the regulations of physicians and surgeons in New Hampshire, under specific conditions. This exemption applies when there is an established physician-patient relationship in the physician's home state, which includes in-person examinations conducted by the physician at intervals that are appropriate for the patient and the patient's medical condition, with a minimum requirement of at least one examination annually.

The legal language inserted into the current law is as follows: "To a physician licensed in another state providing care to a patient in New Hampshire when there is a physician-patient relationship in the physician's home state of licensing with in-person examinations conducted by the physician at intervals appropriate for the patient and the patient's medical condition, but not less than annually." There are no deletions from the current law indicated in the provided text. The act was approved on July 3, 2024, and went into effect on the same date.
