This bill establishes new quorum requirements and meeting protocols for the State Health Assessment and State Health Improvement Plan Advisory Council, as well as the Commission on the Interdisciplinary Primary Care Workforce. It amends RSA 126-A:88 to specify that a majority of the appointed members of the council constitutes a quorum, replacing the previous requirement of "twenty members." Additionally, it introduces a requirement that at least one-seventh of the total appointed membership must be physically present at meetings, while allowing for remote participation. Members participating remotely must be able to see and hear each other and the public, and they are considered present for quorum and voting purposes.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that all votes during meetings be conducted by roll call and allows public participation in remotely held meetings. Similar provisions are added for the Commission on the Interdisciplinary Primary Care Workforce under a new section in RSA 126-T, ensuring consistency in meeting requirements across both bodies. The act is set to take effect upon its passage.
