HB 1573 (2024)

Revises criteria for the out-of-home placement of children and increases oversight and certification criteria for out-of-state residential treatment programs.

The House rewrote the bill to instead send $1 million to the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) "for the purpose of enhancing oversight of residential facilities where New Hampshire children are, or will be, placed." The bill then requires DHHS to submit quarterly reports on their oversight of children in residential placement.
