More detail
The state would have given counties credits toward what they owed it for nursing home care. Each New Hampshire county's share would have depended on its share of overpayments in fiscal years 2020 and 2021. The credits would have been in addition to a separate $5 million county allocation. The fiscal note says the state would have needed general fund money, though the bill had no specific clause setting it aside. The credits would have applied in fiscal years 2026 and 2027; the bill stated a July 1, 2025 start date.
