The statements shall be presented to the court upon request. If the obligee is unwilling to agree to the use of a direct deposit dedicated checking account, the court shall inquire as to the reason for the obligee’s objection.

An income assignment shall then be initiated without requiring an amendment to the support order or further action by the court or administrative body that issued the order.

V. Any auxiliary charges, not including gratuity charges, such as, but not limited to, service charges, house charges, management fees, or housekeeping charges, added to the charge for a taxable meal or taxable room, shall not be taxed under this chapter if:

(a) The allocated cost of the package for gratuities meets the requirements of RSA 78-A:6-a, II(a), (b), (d), and (e); and

I. Sections 15-18 of this act shall take effect May 1, 2002.

Recommendation:

That the House recede from its position of nonconcurrence with the Senate amendment, and concur with the Senate amendment, and

That the Senate and House adopt the following new amendment to the bill as amended by the Senate, and pass the bill as so amended:

Amend the introductory paragraph of section 1 of the bill by replacing it with the following:

1 Statement of Purpose. Following the terrorist mass murders of September 11, 2001 and in the aftermath of the anthrax bioterrorism attacks, it is hereby recognized that additional steps must be taken to assure homeland security. The United States Government has recognized that homeland security is dependent on state and local emergency response and public health entities and the critical role they fulfill in responding to natural and man-made disasters, bioterrorist attacks, and infectious disease outbreaks. As evidenced in the wake of the 2001 terrorist mass murders, comprehensive and coordinated statewide emergency response systems are crucial to New Hampshire’s security. New Hampshire’s constitution establishes the roles that the governor, legislature and other state officials and agencies have in assuring the health, safety, and well-being of the citizens of New Hampshire. It is therefore the purpose of this act to:

Amend the introductory paragraph of RSA 107-C:17 as inserted by section 3 of the bill by replacing it with the following:

107-C:17 Public Health Powers and Duties. During the existence of a state of emergency under this chapter, the commissioner of health and human services shall have the following powers and duties which are in addition to those set forth in RSA 141-C; provided, that such powers and duties shall be limited to the specific nature of the emergency, its geographic limits, and the conditions that brought it about, as specified in the declaration of the state of emergency:

Amend RSA 107-C:17, VI as inserted by section 3 of the bill by replacing it with the following:

VI. Any order compelling an investigation, physical examination, the provision of specimens, medical treatment or care, or immunization, and any other order of the commissioner under this chapter, shall be subject to the due process requirements of RSA 141-C:14-a.

VII. The department of health and human services shall acquire and retain only the minimum amount of information, specimens, and samples relating to individuals necessary to carry out its obligations under this section. Any genetic testing of specimens and samples shall be limited to the viruses, bacteria, fungi, or other micro-organisms therein.

Amend section 10 of the bill by replacing it with the following:

10 New Paragraphs; Rulemaking Added. Amend RSA 141-C:6 by inserting after paragraph XVIII the following new paragraphs:

XIX. Identifying microbial isolates of reportable diseases and patient specimens to be retained or forwarded to the public health laboratories.

XX. Establishing a registry of biological agents present in New Hampshire.

XXI. Procedures relating to information, specimens, and samples as required under RSA 141-C:10, IV.

Amend RSA 141-C:10 as inserted by section 13 of the bill by inserting after paragraph III the following new paragraph:

IV. The department shall acquire and retain only the minimum amount of information, specimens, and samples relating to individuals necessary to carry out its obligations under this chapter. The department shall adopt rules, pursuant to RSA 541-A, relative to the types of information, specimens, and samples to be acquired and the length of time such information, specimens, and samples shall be retained before being destroyed. Any genetic testing of specimens and samples shall be limited to the viruses, bacteria, fungi, or other micro-organisms therein.

Amend RSA 141-C:14-a as inserted by section 16 of the bill by replacing it with the following:

141-C:14-a Due Process.

I. Any person subject to an order to submit a specimen under RSA 141-C or for examination, immunization, treatment, isolation, or quarantine, or any other order of the commissioner under this chapter may request a hearing in the superior court to contest such order. The commissioner shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the person both oral and written notice of the right to contest the order and the form for making the request, which form shall require no more than the person’s name, address, and signature and the time and date of the signature.

II. Submission of the completed form to the law enforcement officer or other individual serving the order shall be considered a filing with the superior court and such officer or other individual shall promptly deliver the form to the superior court.

III. The superior court shall schedule a hearing and render a decision upon the request within 48 hours of the time the request was made. If the court determines that exigencies related to protection of the health of the public preclude a hearing and decision within the 48-hour period, the hearing and decision may take place within a suitable time as determined by the court, but in no event later than 120 hours after the time the request was made.

IV. No examination, specimen, immunization, treatment, or other action shall be required against the will of a person who has filed a request for a hearing. A person may be held in isolation or quarantine pending the outcome of the court hearing, but may no longer be held if the court fails to render its decision within the time period required under paragraph III.

V. At the hearing the burden of proof shall be on the commissioner to prove by clear and convincing evidence that the person poses a threat to public health and the order issued by the commissioner is thereby warranted to alleviate such threat.

VI. All orders issued under this chapter shall be in writing and a copy shall be provided to the person subject to the order at the time it is served. Every person who contests an order of the commissioner under this chapter shall be given a copy of the executed form contesting such order.

VII. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to require the medical examination, medical treatment, or immunization of a person who objects, and no criminal penalties shall be imposed as a result. Notwithstanding this paragraph, such a person may be subject to isolation or quarantine for the minimum period necessary to protect the public health, as determined by the court in its decision following the hearing pursuant to this section.

Amend the bill by replacing section 20 with the following:

20 Isolation and Quarantine. Amend RSA 141-C:11, I to read as follows:

I. Whenever it is necessary to prevent the introduction or spread of communicable diseases within this state or from another state, or to restrict such diseases if introduced, and when such communicable diseases pose a substantial threat to the health and life of the citizenry, the commissioner shall establish isolation or quarantine for persons who are cases or carriers, or suspected cases or carriers of communicable diseases, and establish quarantine for commodities, conveyances, baggage and cargo that are carriers or suspected carriers of the communicable diseases by written order prepared in accordance with RSA 141-C:12. Such isolation or quarantine shall be by the least restrictive means necessary to protect the citizenry which, in the case of an individual, shall be at a place of his or her choosing unless the commissioner determines such place to be impractical or unlikely to adequately protect the public health. The commissioner shall adopt such rules regarding the establishment, maintenance and lifting of isolation and quarantine as he may deem best for protecting the health of the public.

21 Repeals. The following are repealed:

I. RSA 107-C:17, relative to public health powers and duties.

II. RSA 107-C:18, relative to safe disposal of corpses.

22 Effective Date.
