relative to financial disclosures and the public reporting of those disclosures by the secretary of state.
HB 546 requires current New Hampshire state legislators (house members and senators) to file detailed financial disclosures within 48 hours for any contribution or expenditure exceeding $1,000. The report must include the donor's full name, address, amount, and date received. It also updates the filing schedule to require monthly reports between the general election and June, replacing the previous annual deadline. This bill directly affects legislators receiving significant campaign donations, increasing the frequency and speed of public disclosure for those contributions.
