Click to hear this week’s Director’s Report! https://rebuildnh.com/directors-report-for-week-of-jan-22nd/?mc_cid=db75252cae&mc_eid=cc091f9007 Last week we asked you to take action on the floor amendment to ban mask mandates (SB63) and the school healthcare bill (SB343). The floor amendment was not brought forward for SB63 in the senate session yesterday. Word is the senate lawyer wants more time to review it. SB343 was voted interim study (soft way of killing it) unanimously in committee and put on the consent calendar. Senator Innis removed it from the consent calendar but it was tabled at the session yesterday. I will work to keep it on the table until it dies. Thursday, January 25th, N.H. Senate Judiciary SH, Room 100  1:45 p.m. – SUPPORT with amendment –SB573This is a much needed bill to strengthen parental consent laws in regard to healthcare.However there is one giant flaw with this bill that needs to be rectified before it can be passed.This chapter shall not apply if: I. A parent of the child has given a blanket consent authorizing the person or entity to perform an activity listed in 170-I:1; or II. It has been reasonably determined by the person or entity that either of the following conditions is true: (a) it is necessary to perform an activity listed in RSA 170-I:1 in order to prevent the child’s death or imminent, irreversible physical injury to the child; or (b) a parent of the child cannot be located or contacted after a reasonably diligent effort.While we understand that there need to be exceptions to parental consent for emergency situations, section (a) covers this. However section (b) essentially overrides ALL parental consent. Anyone could claim they made a “diligent effort” at contacting the parent, and then give any diagnosis, treatment, procedure, etc to the child without any consent.
