The bill amends various aspects of New Hampshire law, focusing on environmental conservation, health services, education, and public safety. It introduces new definitions and mandates the Department of Environmental Services (DES) to adopt rules ensuring that state agency actions do not jeopardize protected species and their habitats. Key insertions include the establishment of an environmental scientist position within DES, the creation of a Threatened and Endangered Species Compensatory Mitigation Fund, and the requirement for DES to complete environmental reviews within 60 days. The bill also raises fees for shoreline terrain alteration applications and introduces structural requirements for boathouses over public waters. Additionally, it modifies the definition of "environmental review" and sets rules for mitigation payments to the compensatory mitigation fund.

In the realm of health and human services, the bill mandates maternal depression screenings for new mothers, appropriates funds for various health initiatives, and establishes a pilot program for child care scholarship presumptive eligibility. It also introduces provisions for the management of Medicaid long-term care services and support programs, emphasizing the integration of managed care organizations. The bill further addresses education funding, including changes to special education aid and the establishment of a new endowment trust fund for higher education. Notably, it prohibits public entities from engaging in diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, requiring compliance reports to be submitted to the Department of Administrative Services. Overall, the bill reflects a comprehensive approach to revising state policies and funding mechanisms across multiple sectors.
