This bill mandates the Department of Health and Human Services to provide detailed reports on the Medicaid enhancement program for children and pregnant women. Specifically, it requires the department to submit quarterly reports starting October 1, 2025, and continuing through the biennium ending June 30, 2027. After this period, the reporting frequency will shift to annual submissions. The reports must be directed to the oversight committee on health and human services, relevant legislative committees, and the governor, and they should include updates on efforts to reduce administrative burdens for enrollees and progress in expanding access to maternal home visiting programs. Additionally, these reports will be made publicly available on the department's website.

The bill also includes a significant change to existing law by repealing and reenacting RSA 167:68, IV(d). The previous language is deleted, and the new provisions emphasize the importance of continuous coverage for the postpartum period and the need for transparency in the department's operations. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025.
