This bill introduces several significant changes to current law, primarily focusing on the prohibition of public schools and institutions of higher learning from providing shelter to specified aliens who have not been admitted to the United States, except in the case of a specified disaster. The new section added to RSA 126-A defines "shelter or housing" and outlines the conditions under which such shelter may be provided, specifically excluding short-term emergency shelter necessitated by disasters. Additionally, the bill mandates that any district public school, chartered public school, or institution of higher learning receiving state financial assistance must comply with this prohibition.

Furthermore, the bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services to include provisions related 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 the appraisal of taxable property, stipulating that they must provide notification of changes to assessed valuations at least 45 days prior to the issuance of the final tax bill. The bill deletes previous notice requirements and expands the methods of notification to include public notices in local newspapers, on municipal websites, and through social media. The effective date for the appraisal-related sections is set for July 1, 2026, while the remainder of the act will take effect 60 days after passage.
