relative to the liability of grandparents to provide assistance.
This bill removes the legal requirement for grandparents in New Hampshire to provide financial support for their minor grandchildren. By repealing the existing statute, the law no longer holds grandparents personally liable for child support obligations. The change takes effect 60 days after the bill is passed, meaning grandparents will not be legally responsible for paying for their grandchildren's needs under this specific provision.
