HB 347: relative to protection of employment for members of the general court.

HB 347 ensures that employees who are members of the state's general court (legislature) can take time off work to attend voting sessions without losing their jobs. Employers with 25 or more employees must allow this time off, requiring staff to provide advance notice of session dates. Employees may use accrued paid leave for these sessions, or take unpaid leave if no paid time is available. Employers who violate this law face civil penalties enforced by the labor commissioner. The law applies to all general court voting sessions and takes effect 60 days after passage.

HB 456: prohibiting the use of certain local funds for lobbying.

HB 456 prohibits towns and cities from using local public funds to pay for lobbying activities by associations representing local officials, such as the New Hampshire Municipal Association. The bill amends state law to prevent membership dues from covering lobbyist salaries or lobbying efforts, requiring that any lobbying must be funded by separate non-public funds kept physically and financially distinct from public money. This law directly affects how local governments fund associations and their activities, ensuring public funds aren't used for lobbying. It applies to associations like the New Hampshire City and Town Clerks' Association and the New Hampshire Tax Collectors' Association.
