Governor Hassan's Statement on SB 42

Statement

Date: March 5, 2015
Location: Concord, NH
Issues: Health Insurance Health and Health Care

Governor Maggie Hassan today issued the following statement after the Senate voted to kill Senate Bill 42, relative to employee notification of contraceptive coverage:

"Today's disappointing Senate vote will allow employers to deny coverage for family planning services that are critical for the health and economic security of women and families without even telling prospective employees. This common-sense legislation would have protected workers, ensuring that employer policies to deny or limit contraception services would be disclosed. Coverage for family planning services is the right thing to do for workers, helps businesses attract high-quality employees, and strengthens the economic security of working families, and I will continue fighting to ensure that women and all of our workers have access to the full range of health coverage they need."
