relative to public health, safety, and state sovereignty.

HB 584 creates a legal pathway for lawsuits against New Hampshire local governments (like towns, school districts, or water districts) that enforce policies based on mandates from the World Health Organization (WHO), United Nations (UN), or World Economic Forum (WEF). It adds a new section to state law allowing claims against these entities for enforcing such international directives, while keeping damage limits under existing law and preventing insurance proceeds from increasing those limits. The bill also updates a definition related to foreign pharmacy graduates to reference the WHO's "World Directory of Schools of Pharmacy" instead of WHO-recognized medical schools. This bill directly affects local government entities that implement international health or policy mandates, not individual residents or private entities.
