relative to the contents of the budget trailer bill.
HB 1166 restricts the contents of New Hampshire's budget trailer bill, prohibiting any statutory changes not explicitly required to implement the biennial budget. It requires that every line item in the trailer bill must reference the specific budget bill line item it supports. This bill applies to the governor's submission of the trailer bill and subsequent legislative amendments, ensuring all changes directly relate to budget implementation. The law mandates the trailer bill be publicly posted on the Department of Administrative Services' website upon submission. This is a procedural change affecting budget document formatting, not substantive policy.
