relative to the taking of private property.

HB 1611 modifies New Hampshire's rules for seizing private property during declared emergencies. It limits such takings to actual necessities, requires written warrants from the Safety Commissioner, and mandates detailed receipts for seized property. The bill expands compensation for affected owners to include replacement costs, loss of use, and legal fees, and creates a commission to assess fair payment. Property owners whose land or buildings are seized also gain a first right to repurchase the property at market price. These changes apply only during emergencies and take effect January 1, 2027.
