relative to the effective date of the law regarding collection and reporting of abortion statistics.

SB 474 changes the effective date for New Hampshire's law requiring the collection and reporting of abortion statistics from January 1, 2027, to July 1, 2027. The bill amends RSA 329:49-a, which governs how the state collects and reports abortion data. This adjustment directly affects the Department of Health and Human Services, the agency responsible for implementing the reporting requirements. The change was requested by the Department to provide additional time for necessary preparations.
