HB 1004 New Hampshire House · 2024 Regular Session

relative to repealing the judicial conduct commission.

This bill eliminates the Judicial Conduct Commission in New Hampshire by repealing the specific law that created it. The change directly affects the state's judicial oversight system by removing the commission's authority to investigate judges and handle complaints regarding their professional behavior. Because the commission is abolished, its existing powers and responsibilities are effectively ended, and any future judicial conduct matters would need to be handled through different legal channels. The legislation takes effect immediately upon being signed into law.
