134	134	METHODOLOGY:
135	135
136	136	This bill repeals the requirement that the state engage in certain outreach and marketing activities to increase awareness of the Granite State paid family leave plan.
137	137
138	138	The Department of Administrative Services states this bill amends the NH Paid Family and Medical Leave law by repealing the requirements that the State perform outreach and marketing of the Plan. The Governor's proposed FY 2026-27 operating budget for these activities is $717,252 in both FY 2026 and FY 2027 (the House Finance Committee proposed FY 26-27 operating budget removes this funding). Under this proposal there would be no funding to support PFML outreach and marketing, effectively defunding the state's contracts for consulting services, marketing, and website maintenance.
139	139
140	140	The Department indicates that funding will remain in State agency operating budgets to support purchase of a Paid Family Leave group policy to support Paid Family Leave insurance for state employees.
