relative to immunization requirements in foster family homes and relative to financial eligibility for the Medicare savings program.

Bill title changed from 'As Amended by the Senate' to 'Version Adopted by Both Bodies,' indicating the legislative process reached final adoption by both chambers.

Date stamp in the header was updated from 05/14/2026 to 05/08, a minor administrative correction.

A new Section 3 was added that amends RSA 167 to insert a new section (167:4-g) requiring the state department to administer the Medicare savings program in accordance with federal law and removing the resource limit so the low income subsidy for Medicare Part D is available to residents to assist with prescription drug costs, subject to CMS approval.

The bill's title and amended analysis were expanded from covering only immunization requirements in foster family homes to also covering financial eligibility for the Medicare savings program.

A new Section 2 was added providing a short title: 'The Help for Low Income Seniors Act of 2026,' applying to Sections 2 and 3 of the act.

The original Section 2 (Effective Date) was renumbered as Section 4 to accommodate the new sections inserted before it.

Changed 'any parent residing in a foster home' to 'any adult residing in a foster home,' expanding coverage from only foster parents to all adults living in the home.

The analysis summary was reworded to match the broader 'adults residing in foster homes' language, and minor formatting/spacing adjustments were made throughout.
