Amend RSA 151:2, VI(a)(2) as inserted by section 1 of the bill by replacing it with the following:
(2) Provided however, effective July 1, 2023, any pediatric intermediate care facility, established before the effective date of this subparagraph is authorized to house 2 additional pediatric residents beyond its licensed capacity prior to that date, with this authorization to expire June 30, 2026. Notwithstanding the moratorium established in subparagraph (a)(1), the commissioner of health and human services may assess the capacity of any pediatric intermediate care facility and report any need for additional beds to the standing policy committees of the house and senate with jurisdiction over health and human services and the fiscal committee of the general court. If the commissioner determines additional beds are necessary, the commissioner may increase a pediatric intermediate care facility's number of licensed beds upon approval of the fiscal committee of the general court.
