| HB 233 | (new Title) Requiring Meetings Of The New Hampshire Vaccine Association to Be Audio and Video Recorded and Published On Its Website Within 48 Hours. The bill aims to improve transparency regarding vaccination products and meetings, but it faced some opposition, particularly regarding the role of the vaccination association and the feasibility of recording Zoom meetings. Further discussions and clarifications are expected, and the potential for a subcommittee review is still uncertain.Patrick Miller and Mark McCue, who oppose the bill, provided testimony. McCue explained the limited role of the vaccination association, noting it operates as a public-private partnership to save costs (around 30%) but plays a minimal role in vaccination requirements. Patick made several attempts at pointing out the Vax Association was essentially a "go-through"/ fiscal agent to purchasing vaccines at discounted pricing. By meeting via zoom, anyone in the public can attend, they posting meeting minutes, and answer questions in a reasonable amount of time. |
