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, or institution of higher learning receiving state financial assistance must comply with this prohibition.

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 contract amendments. It also revises the notice requirements for municipalities with populations over 10,000 regarding property appraisals. Specifically, it stipulates that municipalities must provide notification of changes to assessed valuations at least 45 days prior to the issuance of the final tax bill, utilizing various public notice methods. The bill includes provisions for the effective dates of its sections, with some taking effect on July 1, 2026, and others 60 days after passage.
