A Health Impact Review (HIR) is an objective, non-partisan, evidence-based tool that provides the Governor and state Legislators with information about how proposed legislation may impact health and equity. An HIR is an important tool to inform legislative decision-making. It provides lawmakers important information to talk with other legislators, delivers unbiased data and information, and gives weight and credibility to bills and work. HIRs can:
- Determine if there is enough evidence to support a policy direction
- Determine if a bill will have the intended impact
- Build support for bills that may have positive impacts on health or equity
- Get information to decide how to vote on a colleague's bill
Important Information to Know:
- Only the Governor or a state Legislator can request an HIR
- HIRs can be requested for any bill topic
- We complete HIRs on a first-come, first-serve basis
- The Legislature authorized the Board to conduct HIRs in collaboration with the Governor's Interagency Council on Health Disparities
