STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

 

In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Twenty Two

 

AN ACT relative to licensure of case management service providers and relative to payment by the state of a portion of retirement system contributions of political subdivision employers.

 

Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:

 

1  Home Health Care Provider; Reference to Case Management Agency Added.  Amend the section heading of RSA 151:2-b and RSA 151:2-b, I to read as follows:

151:2-b Home Health Care Provider and Individual Home Care Service Provider; Case Management Services Provider.

I.  "Home health care provider" means any organization, business entity, or subdivision thereof, including a case management services provider, whether public or private, whether operated for profit or not, which is engaged in arranging or providing, directly or through contract arrangement, one or more of the following: nursing services, home health aide services, or other therapeutic and related services which may include, but shall not be limited to, physical and occupational therapy, speech pathology, nutritional services, medical social services, personal care services, and homemaker services, which may be of a preventive, therapeutic, rehabilitative, health guidance or supportive nature to persons in their places of residence.

2  Short Title; Purpose.

I.  Sections 2-4 of this act may be known as the “Property Tax Relief Act of 2022.”

II.  The act renews a promise made by state to municipalities and restores the state’s contribution of a portion of the retirement costs of teachers, firefighters, and local police.  Its purpose is to help ease the local property tax burden, provide property tax relief to the cities and towns, and enhance public education and public safety.

3  Retirement System; Employer Contributions; State Share of Contributions.  Amend RSA 100-A:16, II(b) and (c) to read as follows:

(b)  The contributions of each employer for benefits under the retirement system on account of group II members shall consist of a percentage of the earnable compensation of its members to be known as the "normal contribution,'' and an additional amount to be known as the "accrued liability contribution;'' provided that beginning with state fiscal year [2013] 2024 and for each state fiscal year thereafter, any employer [shall pay the full amount of such total contributions] other than the state, shall pay 92.5 percent of such total contributions, and 7.5 percent thereof shall be paid by the state; and provided further that, in case of group II members employed by the state, the state shall pay both normal and accrued liability contributions.  The rate percent of such normal contribution, including contributions on behalf of group II members whose group II creditable service is in excess of 40 years, in each instance shall be fixed on the basis of the liabilities of the system with respect to the particular members of the various member classifications as shown by actuarial valuations, except as provided in subparagraph (i).  

(c)  The contributions of each employer for benefits under the retirement system on account of group I members shall consist of a percentage of the earnable compensation of its members to be known as the "normal contribution,'' and an additional amount to be known as the "accrued liability contribution;'' provided that beginning with state fiscal year [2013] 2024 and for each state fiscal year thereafter, in the case of teachers, any employer [shall pay the full amount of such total contributions] other than the state, shall pay 92.5 percent of such total contributions, and 7.5 percent thereof shall be paid by the state; and provided further that, in case of teacher members employed by the state, the state shall pay both normal and accrued liability contributions.  The rate percent of such normal contribution in each instance shall be fixed on the basis of the liabilities of the system with respect to the particular members of the various member classifications as shown by actuarial valuation, except as provided in subparagraph (i).

4  Repeal.  RSA 100-A:16, II(c-1) relative to employer contributions for fiscal year 2012, is repealed.

5  Effective Date.

I.  Sections 2-4 of this act shall take effect July 1, 2023.

II.  The remainder of this act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
