The bill amends various aspects of New Hampshire law, focusing on environmental protection, health services, education, and public safety. Key provisions include the establishment of a new environmental scientist position within the Department of Environmental Services (DES) to oversee compliance with endangered species conservation efforts, the creation of a Threatened and Endangered Species Compensatory Mitigation Fund, and the introduction of a database for cataloging protected species. The bill also modifies the fee structures for shoreline terrain alteration applications and increases various environmental service fees. Additionally, it mandates that state agencies ensure their actions do not jeopardize protected species and their habitats, while also streamlining the environmental review process.

In the realm of health services, the bill mandates maternal depression screenings for new mothers, establishes a perinatal peer support certification program, and appropriates funds for various health initiatives, including emergency shelter services for individuals with opioid use disorders. It also introduces a pilot program for presumptive eligibility in child care scholarships and modifies Medicaid provisions to enhance access to services. Furthermore, the bill addresses education by requiring high school students to pass a civics assessment and adjusting funding mechanisms for special education. Overall, the bill reflects a comprehensive approach to enhancing state operations, public health, and environmental management while ensuring compliance with updated regulations.
