Relative to parental access to a minor child's medical records, relative to refusal of consent to testing to determine alcohol concentration and penalties for aggravated driving while intoxicated, defining pre-sequestration timber tax revenue, establishing a moratorium on carbon sequestration and establishing a commission to study the effects of carbon sequestration in New Hampshire forests upon state and local tax revenue, effective forest management, and the health of New Hampshires logging industry.
HB560 is a comprehensive bill that addresses several key issues. Firstly, it aims to give parents access to their minor child's medical records and outlines penalties for those who refuse to consent to alcohol concentration testing when suspected of driving while intoxicated.
The bill also includes provisions to define and set aside certain timber tax revenue from carbon sequestration activities. It establishes a temporary halt on carbon sequestration in New Hampshire's forests and creates a commission to study its effects on state and local tax revenue, forest management, and the logging industry's health.
As of July 2025, the bill has been referred to a conference committee to resolve differences between House and Senate versions. Key recent actions include amendments and the appointment of conferees to negotiate the final bill language.
