establishing a commission to study safety and security procedures in the New Hampshire state house.
HB 477 creates a commission to study safety and security measures at the New Hampshire state house. The commission, including lawmakers, safety officials, and the Concord fire chief, will examine specific options like metal detectors, visitor sign-in systems, security training, and policies for handling threats. It must submit an interim report by November 2025 and a final report by November 2026. The bill does not implement new security rules but aims to assess potential improvements for lawmakers, staff, and visitors.
