This bill aims to streamline reporting requirements by eliminating certain annual reporting obligations for municipal public welfare administrators and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Specifically, it removes the mandate for municipal overseers of public welfare to submit an annual report detailing the number of individuals assisted and the associated costs to the DHHS. The bill also repeals the requirement for the DHHS to provide a report to the legislature regarding 10-year current services cost projections, which is deemed obsolete.

The legal language changes include the insertion of "or her" to ensure gender inclusivity in the designation of overseers of public welfare. Additionally, the bill deletes references to the 10-year current services cost projections in RSA 9:9-f and repeals RSA 9:9-e, which pertains to the DHHS's demographic cost projections. The bill is a request from the DHHS and is set to take effect upon passage.
