Senator David Waters introduced SB450 to create a three-year pilot authorizing the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (DNCR) to include a state parks pass option in its fee schedule for up to 10 community mental health centers registered with HHS; he emphasized collecting anonymized usage data in cooperation with HHS to evaluate mental‑health benefits. Public testimony from Holly Stevens (NAMI New Hampshire) cited prevalence data and supported the bill. Committee deferred executive session pending questions/amendments.
