Governor Ayotte Signs Law Expanding Right to Try in New Hampshire

Published on

On August 20, 2025, Governor Kelly Ayotte signed a law expanding patients’ Right to Try emerging health care treatment options to include individualized treatments for rare and ultra-rare diseases.

“I’m proud to stand with patients and families facing the unimaginable,” said Governor Kelly Ayotte. “New Hampshire was one of the first states to enshrine Right to Try into law, and today, we’re strengthening that law by empowering patients to pursue life-saving treatments without unnecessary red tape. We’re putting patients first, encouraging innovation, and ensuring families know our state will fight alongside them to pursue a cure for these rare diseases.”

House Bill 701 expands New Hampshire’s original Right to Try law, which was passed and signed by former Governor Maggie Hassan in 2016.
