relative to training regarding child abuse and neglect for licensed physicians, advance practice nurses, and physician assistants.

This New Hampshire bill requires employers of licensed physicians, advance practice nurses, and physician assistants to provide mandatory training on recognizing and reporting child abuse and neglect to those staff members who care for people under 18. The training must consist of at least two hours of accredited instruction, which can be completed online or in person, and must be finished within 90 days of employment. Additionally, the training must be renewed every two years to ensure healthcare providers stay updated on their reporting obligations. The law aims to improve the identification of abused or neglected children by healthcare professionals and takes effect on January 1, 2025.
