HB 1629 New Hampshire House · 2024 Regular Session

relative to attorney general's duties concerning legislators residing in different districts than they represent.

This bill directs the Attorney General to immediately inform legislative leaders if they have probable cause to believe a state legislator no longer lives in the district they represent. The law requires the Attorney General to notify the presiding officer, minority leader, and clerk of the relevant chamber but explicitly prohibits them from sharing details of any ongoing criminal investigation beyond the residency issue. It applies specifically to legislators and aims to establish a formal process for verifying district residency without revealing sensitive investigative information. The measure would take effect 60 days after passing, though it did not become law in the 2024 session.
