HB 1627 New Hampshire House · 2024 Regular Session

relative to recodifying certain laws concerning railroads, transportation, and telecommunications.

This bill reorganizes New Hampshire state laws by moving existing regulations on railroads, transportation, and telecommunications into new sections of the state code. It updates legal references to ensure consistency across different chapters and transfers specific rules regarding railroad operations, safety, and police appointments to new titles. Additionally, the bill establishes a formal program for the Governor's Commission on Disability to provide telecommunications equipment to qualified individuals with disabilities who cannot use standard phones. The program will be funded from an existing trust fund and includes provisions for eligibility verification, equipment distribution, and annual reporting.
