This bill proposes amendments to RSA 167:18-a, specifically regarding county reimbursement of funds for nursing home services. It introduces new subparagraphs (5) and (6) that allocate an aggregate credit of $11,228,839 to counties for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, respectively. This allocation is in addition to the previously established $5,000,000 and is based on the counties' proportional share of overpayments made in fiscal years 2020 and 2021.

The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and aims to provide financial relief to counties for expenses incurred while serving residents in nursing homes. The fiscal impact of the bill is currently undetermined, as the Office of Legislative Budget Assistant is awaiting further information from the Department of Health and Human Services to complete a fiscal note.
