SB 318-FN is a bill that seeks to reorganize the regulatory framework for the installation of manufactured houses and the administration of nursing home administrators in New Hampshire. The bill redefines the "Board" as the installation standards advisory board and introduces the term "Executive director" as the head of the office of professional licensure and certification. It reduces the number of advisory board members from 9 to 3, extends their term length from 3 to 4 years, and limits them to 2 consecutive full terms. The bill transfers responsibilities such as ensuring compliance with housing standards, licensing and training of housing installers, and providing consumer recourse from the board to the executive director. It also amends the inspection process, the issuance of certificates of compliance, and the correction of violations.

Furthermore, SB 318-FN modifies the board of examiners of nursing home administrators by reducing its size and changing the appointment process. It shifts rulemaking authority from the board to the executive director, who will consult with the advisory board. The bill repeals sections related to fees, penalties, and funding sources, and it outlines the transition of responsibilities to the executive director. Additionally, the bill establishes a new advisory board for massage therapists, reflexologists, structural integrators, and Asian bodywork therapists, combining existing boards to improve efficiency. It repeals and amends various sections of RSA 151-A and RSA 328-H, updating definitions, licensing processes, and the structure of advisory boards. The bill has no fiscal impact on state, county, and local expenditures or revenue and will take effect 60 days after its passage.
