HB 1091 New Hampshire House · 2024 Regular Session

relative to the financing of political campaigns.

This bill updates the definitions used in New Hampshire's campaign finance laws to clarify who and what counts as a candidate, political committee, and political party. It expands the scope of what is considered a contribution and expenditure to include various forms of support, such as personal services, childcare costs for candidates, and specific types of communications across digital and traditional media. The legislation also establishes new rules for creating regional political party committees and provides clearer distinctions between partisan and non-partisan voter activities. By redefining these core terms, the bill aims to modernize how political spending and advocacy are tracked and regulated in the state.
