HB 150: enabling homestead operations to use commercial kitchen equipment in preparing food for sale.

HB 150 amends New Hampshire law to allow home-based food producers (called "homestead food operations") to use commercial kitchen equipment in their primary residence kitchens. It specifically permits this for non-hazardous foods prepared for sale, provided the equipment can be cleaned and sanitized within the home kitchen area. The bill defines "commercial kitchen equipment" as professional-grade tools designed for heavy use, but requires it to meet home kitchen sanitation standards. This change directly affects small-scale home food businesses in New Hampshire seeking to scale operations without moving to a commercial facility.

The bill increases the maximum optional tax credit for veterans with a service-connected permanent and total disability from $4,000 to $5,000.

This change directly affects qualifying disabled veterans and the municipalities that offer this property tax credit.

HB 153: establishing a committee to study adding statewide resources to assist with the investigation, training, prosecution, and prompt response of animal cruelty.

HB 153 establishes a committee to study how New Hampshire could create statewide resources for animal cruelty cases. The committee, composed of three House members and one Senate member, will examine current law enforcement training, identify best practices for prosecution and response, and recommend ways to form a coordinated statewide resource group. It must report its findings and recommendations to state leaders by November 1, 2025. This bill does not fund or create new resources itself, but sets up a process to evaluate how to improve animal cruelty investigations and responses. (HB 153, 2025 session)

HB 86: increasing the cost of service for notice of civil forfeiture of unlicensed dogs to the rate for certified mail.

This bill revises the process for addressing unlicensed dogs, affecting dog owners and local municipalities. It outlines steps for local officials to identify and issue civil forfeiture notices to owners of unlicensed dogs. A key provision sets the maximum cost for serving these notices, whether by certified mail, in-hand delivery, or leaving it at the owner's home, to not exceed the U.S. Postal Service rate for certified mail with return receipt. The bill also requires a written warning before an unlicensed dog can be seized and details the process for reclaiming a seized dog.

HB 78: requiring a person to have a domicile in the district from which they serve as county commissioner.

HB 78 modifies the residency requirements for individuals serving as county commissioners. It mandates that all county commissioners must be an inhabitant who resides actually and permanently in the specific district they are chosen to represent, rather than only in the broader county. This bill amends existing law to clarify and standardize this district-level residency requirement for county commissioners across the state. For Strafford County, these new qualifications will apply to elections starting with the 2026 state general election or any vacancies prior, without affecting current commissioners' terms.

HB 180: relative to critical incident stress management teams.

This bill updates the law concerning Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) teams, which offer crisis intervention services. It expands the definition of these teams to include peer support groups organized by government units or unions of emergency response/public safety workers. The bill allows CISM teams to assist both active and retired emergency response/public safety workers and their families dealing with critical incidents or long-term debilitating stress. It revises the training requirements for team members to focus on initial training based on approved guidelines and mandates that teams register with the Commissioner of Safety. Additionally, it clarifies the designation process for team members and defines the responsibilities of a team leader.
