Health Impact Reviews

Second Substitute Senate Bill 6197 created the Governor's Interagency Coordinating Council on Health Disparities and authorized the State Board of Health to conduct health impact reviews (HIRs) in collaboration with the Council.

A HIR is a review of a proposal for a legislative or budgetary change that analyzes the extent to which the proposal is likely to have a positive or negative impact on health disparities.
