Bill > SB313

This bill reforms New Hampshire's Medicaid and Premium Assistance Program, establishing the Granite Workforce pilot program, and makes changes related to certain liquor funds. The key provisions include: 1. Creating the New Hampshire Granite Advantage Health Care Program, a 5-year demonstration program funded exclusively from non-general fund sources, including federal funds. This program will provide Medicaid coverage through managed care organizations and includes work and community engagement requirements for certain enrollees. 2. Establishing the Granite Workforce pilot program, which uses TANF funds to provide subsidies to employers in high-need areas and assist low-income families with barriers to employment, such as transportation and childcare. 3. Transferring revenue from the Alcohol Abuse Prevention and Treatment Fund to the new Granite Advantage Health Care Trust Fund to support the Granite Advantage Health Care Program, particularly for substance use disorder and behavioral health services. 4. Establishing a commission to evaluate the effectiveness and future of the Granite Advantage Health Care Program. The bill also includes various other provisions related to the implementation and funding of these new programs.
