This bill introduces several key provisions regarding the use of public school facilities, health department contracts, and property appraisal notifications. Firstly, it prohibits public schools and institutions of higher learning from providing shelter for "specified aliens" who have not been admitted to the United States, except in the case of a "specified disaster," which includes natural disasters like fires and floods. The bill defines "specified aliens" and outlines the conditions under which emergency shelter may be provided. Additionally, it mandates that any district public school, chartered public school, public academy, or institution of higher learning must comply with this prohibition as a condition for receiving state financial assistance.

Furthermore, the bill requires the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services to include references to the patients' bill of rights in all contracts and amendments. It also revises the notice requirements for municipalities with populations over 10,000 regarding property appraisals. Specifically, it stipulates that these municipalities must provide public notice of changes to assessed valuations at least 45 days prior to the issuance of the final tax bill, utilizing various communication methods such as local newspapers, municipal websites, and social media. The effective dates for the provisions related to property appraisal notifications are set for July 1, 2026, while the remainder of the act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
