HB 1719 FISCAL NOTE

AN ACT defining human life as beginning at the moment of fertilization.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Department of Health and Human Services states this bill will have no fiscal impact on state, county, and local revenue or expenditures in FY 2006 and each year thereafter.

METHODOLOGY:

The Department states this bill defines life as beginning at the time of conception for the purposes of prenatal, pregnancy and maternity services and other programs under RSA 132 and any other provisions of law. Since this definition would not alter the Department’s programs to provide appropriate and adequate care to mothers and infants, the Department anticipates no fiscal impact.
