repealing certain committees and commissions and relative to the membership of the New Hampshire rare disease advisory council.
HB 118 eliminates 18 existing state commissions and committees, including the New Hampshire Recovery Monument Commission, Lakeshore Redevelopment Planning Commission, and multiple study groups on topics like telehealth and charitable gaming. It also modifies the New Hampshire Rare Disease Advisory Council by establishing 3-year terms for members (with a limit of two consecutive terms) and aligning legislative members' terms with their elected service. The bill takes effect immediately for most provisions upon passage (August 1, 2025), with specific repeals of the parking garage oversight committee and related rules delayed until January 1, 2026. This bill directly affects state agencies and advisory bodies by dissolving redundant structures and clarifying council membership rules.
