The New Hampshire Maternal Mortality Review Committee was legislatively established in 2010 and began reviewing pregnancy-associated deaths in 2012. The committee meets as needed (at least 3x/year). The statute RSA 132:29 - 31 establishing the NH MMRC can be found here: Chapter 132 PROTECTION FOR MATERNITY AND INFANCY (state.nh.us).
