83-G:2 Imposition of Tax. Each taxpayer is liable for a tax of $.00055 per kilowatt hour of electricity generated within the state.
83-G:3 Collection of Tax. Every taxpayer shall collect and monthly remit the tax to the state as provided in RSA 83-G:4.

II. Any taxpayer who ceases to engage in generating electricity, and is thereby not responsible for filing returns under this chapter, shall file a final return with the department not more than one month after discontinuing such activity. This requirement shall apply notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter regarding the time within which to file a return.
III. If the commissioner finds that the information required for the making of an accurate return cannot reasonably be compiled by a taxpayer within one month and 15 days after the close of the taxable month for which a return is to be made, the commissioner may grant an extension of time for the filing of such return. Any such extension shall be granted for a period not to exceed 31 calendar days.

If any provision of this chapter or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held to be invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the chapter which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this chapter are severable.

SB 450 FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT relative to costs and expenditures at the department of health and human services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Health and Human Services states this bill would have an indeterminable fiscal impact on state revenue and expenditures, and county revenue in FY 2010 and FY 2011. This bill will have no fiscal impact on county and local expenditures, or local revenue.
METHODOLOGY:
Section 1 - The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) states Chapter 143:9, Laws of 2009 (HB 1) requires the Department to reduce state general fund appropriations by $7,359,331 in FY 2010 and $12,199,900 in FY 2011. The proposed bill would remove the annual amounts, and require a reduction of $19,559,231 over the FY 2010-2011 biennium. This would allow the Department flexibility in determining how much to reduce each year. State expenditures would be impacted to the extent annual reduction amounts differ from the amounts contained in Chapter 143.
Sections 2 and 3 – The Department states these sections would exempt publication of the rates for services placements and programs under RSA 169-B, C & D from the provisions of RSA 541-A and should have no fiscal impact on the Department.
Section 4 – The Department states RSA 167:83, V currently requires the commissioner of DHHS to enter into a contract with the Department of Employment Security (DES) to carry out the New Hampshire Employment Program (NHEP). This section would amend RSA 167:83, V to make such contracting optional at the discretion of the Commissioner of DHHS. The change, in and of itself, has no fiscal impact as it does not actually change the way NHEP is administered. If DHHS were to actually exercise the option to no longer contract with DES to carry out the NHEP, there could potentially be a fiscal impact at that time.
Section 5 – The Department states this section would make the Non-TANF Funded Program for 2-Parent Families with Dependent Children permissive rather than mandatory. This section may decrease state general fund expenditures to the extent the Department decides not to continue the program. The FY 2010-FY 2011 operating budget includes state general fund appropriations of $5,889,537 in each fiscal year for this program.
Section 6 – The Department states RSA 167:4, IV(c) currently requires recipients of medical assistance to name the state of New Hampshire as the beneficiary of any life insurance policy that has a cash surrender value greater than $1,500 as a condition of eligibility. The proposed legislative change would amend RSA 167:4, IV(c) to require recipients of medical assistance to name the state of New Hampshire as primary beneficiary of any life insurance policy that has a cash surrender value, benefit or face value in excess of $1,500 unless the recipient has a spouse who remains living in the community as the only beneficiary. Policies must ensure payment to the state of New Hampshire of all the proceeds of the policy in excess of amounts spent on burial up to the total of Medicaid expenditures made on behalf of the individual. There are currently 1,919 Medicaid recipients who own life insurance policies that currently have a cash surrender value, benefit or face value in excess of $1,500 and who are not currently required to name the state of New Hampshire as primary beneficiary. It is assumed that approximately 4% of the 1,919 or 77 Medicaid recipients with life insurance have spouses that live in the community. These individuals will not be required to name the State of New Hampshire as primary beneficiary. As a result, the approximate number of recipients that will be affected by the change is 1,842 (1,919 - 77). The average face value of life insurance policies owned by the 1,919 Medicaid recipients is $16,000. The Department estimates the average cost for a funeral would be $6,000 which would result in $10,000 in insurance available for recovery. The DHHS Office of Recoveries handled a total of 352 estates in FY 2009. Almost all of these estates were State Supplement Program Medicaid (Old Age Assistance, Aid to the Needy Blind, or Aid to the Permanently and Totally Disabled) recipients. The 352 estates represent 1.5% of the adult category caseload in any given state fiscal year. As a result, it is assumed that 1.5% of the 1,842 Medicaid recipients with life insurance (28) will be subject to recovery in any given state fiscal year. The Department estimates recovery revenue will increase by $280,000 annually (28 recipients X $10,000 average available insurance). In FY 2009, the Office of Recoveries recovered a total of $4.9 million. Of the $4.9 million, $3.8 million (78%) represented long-term care cases and $1.1 million (22%) represented recoveries from other Medicaid cases. Using these percentages, the Department estimates the additional recovery revenue will be distributed as follows -
• 78% of the additional revenue will be for long-term care cases:
o Total revenue: $218,400
o Federal share: (50%): $109,200
o County share: (38.41%): $83,887
o State share (11.59%): $25,313
• 22% of the additional revenue will be for other Medicaid cases:
o Total revenue: $61,600
o Federal share (50%): $30,800
o State share (50%): $30,800
• Total additional revenue:
o Federal share: $140,000
o County share: $83,887
o State share: $56,113
Sections 7 and 9 – The Department believes that Treatment Authorization for Program Services (TAPS) will reduce costs related to Children in Need of Services (CHINS) and delinquents rehabilitative services. Currently Judges vary from Division of Juvenile Justice Service (DJJS) recommended treatment plan for a significant number of youths served. Some of these variances could result in high, medium, and/or low cost savings if the original DJJS treatment plan was followed to begin with. Using calculations based on the FY 2010 average monthly expenditures of placements and other services currently provided by DJJS, the Department estimates the maximum monthly cost reduction for all levels of cost savings at $69,588. Assuming that the proposed changes will be effective for only 2 months in FY 2010, and inflation of 2% annually, the Department estimates the fiscal impact as follows –
Total General Federal Other

Section 8 – The Department states this section provides that the court shall adopt, in the first instance, the Department’s recommendations for services placements and programs at the dispositional hearing in cases under RSA 169-C. The fiscal impact of this change is difficult to estimate, as the type, number and cost of these services can vary significantly with any given case, and the difference between the services recommended by the Department and those that would otherwise have been ordered by the court is somewhat speculative. The Department, however, assumes that the change will result in an indeterminate decrease in the costs for court ordered services.
Section 10 - The Department states this section requires the Department to file a report on the efficacy of the process established elsewhere in the bill for the timely and cost effective delivery of services placements and programs under RSA 169-B, C & D. The Department estimates that preparation of the report can be done with existing resources.
Sections 11 and 12 – The Department states these sections will make certain changes to RSA 471-C:26 relative to claims for abandoned property to allow the state to claim against abandoned property where the state has paid medical or financial assistance for the benefit of the deceased owner of the property. This change in the law would result in an increase in revenue of an indeterminable amount.
Section 13 – The Department states this section would repeal the Chapter 144:211, Laws of 2009 that requires the Commissioner of DHHS to provide a report to the HHS Oversight Committee detailing administrative and reporting requirements for community mental health centers that could be suspended without jeopardizing public health and safety. The report was to be submitted by September 30, 2009. The Commissioner submitted a report to the HHS Oversight Committee on September 29, 2009 that described an ongoing review of administrative requirements on the mental health centers. There will no fiscal impact as a result of this repeal.
