METHODOLOGY:
This bill prohibits the Department of Health and Human Services from sharing personally identifiable data from the NH Immunization Information System (NHIIS) with other organizations unless withdrawals will be honored by that organization. The bill states that this prohibition shall not apply to information extracted from the NHIIS by health care providers who care for their patients. The Department states that as amended, the bill will require a one-time enhancement to the NHIIS platform, costing $60,000 - $80,000 in FY25. In addition, the change will necessitate one ongoing Development Specialist IV position to complete development, testing, implementation, and ongoing maintenance and quality assurance activities. Salary and benefits for this position are expected to cost $101,000 in FY25, $102,000 in FY26, and $105,000 in FY27.
