BoardNew Hampshire Senate Senate Session
The Senate session included the introduction of guests, including a student recognized for creating an award-winning Alzheimer's screening device and a class from Middleton Elementary School. The Senate discussed House Bill 1735, which relates to the Right to Try Act and the potential expansion of access to experimental treatments. Debate focused on patient safety, FDA oversight, potential ethical dilemmas for physicians, and the liability protections for manufacturers and providers. The Senate ultimately rejected a motion to refer the bill to interim study and considered an amendment to the legislation, which also incorporates provisions regarding the pharmacist scope of practice to facilitate rural health transformation funding.
