repealing the New Hampshire council on autism spectrum disorders.
HB 1337 repeals the New Hampshire council on autism spectrum disorders by removing RSA 171-A:32 (the council's existence) and RSA 171-A:33 I(d) (which required council representation on another body). This bill also deletes a reference to the council from RSA 265:3-c, which relates to a driver program offering blue envelopes for people with autism. The repeal directly affects the council itself and eliminates its role in advisory functions. The bill makes no new policy changes but removes existing statutory language, effective 60 days after passage.
