Plain-language change summary

The recent changes to Bill HB 1772 allow licensed healthcare providers to prescribe ibogaine strictly for research purposes under FDA-approved protocols. This is important because ibogaine has potential therapeutic benefits for substance use disorders, and making it available for investigational use could help explore its effectiveness. Additionally, the bill adopts the physician associate licensure compact, which enhances the ability of physician associates to provide services across state lines. This change aims to improve access to healthcare and streamline the licensure process, ultimately benefiting patients seeking medical assistance.

Estimated State Impact FY 2026 FY 2027 FY 2028 FY 2029 Revenue $0 Indeterminable (section 2) Revenue Fund(s) Office of Professional Licensure and Certification Fund Indeterminable increase of Expenditures* $0 $10,000 or more Indeterminable increase (section 2) (section 2) Funding Source(s) Office of Professional Licensure and Certification Fund Appropriations* $0 $0 $0 $0 Funding Source(s) None *Expenditure = Cost of bill *Appropriation = Authorized funding to cover cost of bill METHODOLOGY:
Section 1 of this bill permits licensed health care providers to administer ibogaine under the framework of a federally-approved research protocol.
This section is expected to have no fiscal impact.
Section 2 adopts the Physician Associate Licensure Compact by allowing a Physician Associate (PA) with an unrestricted license in one participating state to obtain a compact privilege to practice in another participating state.
The Office of Professional Licensure and Certification (OPLC) states that it would need to adopt and implement the PA Licensure Compact and create a new compact license type within its licensing system.
The estimated one time cost to upgrade the software to support this new license type is $10,000.
OPLC also notes that enforcement activity may increase if complaints arise involving PAs practicing in New Hampshire under compact privileges, but the associated cost cannot be estimated because the number of potential complaints is unknown.
Because the compact allows PAs to practice in New Hampshire through a compact privilege rather than holding a standard New Hampshire license, OPLC anticipates a reduction in PA license revenue.
Of the 1,636 current PA licensees, 488 have a home address outside New Hampshire, and if these individuals rely on compact privileges instead of maintaining a NH license, OPLC estimates a potential revenue loss of approximately $93,000.
The OPLC may see some new revenue from PAs who newly designate New Hampshire as their home state for compact purposes, but because the number of such licensees cannot be predicted, any potential increase is indeterminable.
