Maddy summaryHB 363 establishes six specific criteria that New Hampshire legislators must follow when redrawing state legislative districts. The bill requires districts to comply with federal and state constitutions, be based on total population, maintain geographic integrity of communities, and consider "communities of interest" (like shared cultural or economic ties) without favoring political parties or racial groups. It explicitly prohibits plans that intentionally favor or disfavor any political party, incumbent, or racial/ethnic group. This bill directly affects how New Hampshire's state senate and house districts are drawn, ensuring the process prioritizes fairness and legal compliance over partisan or demographic manipulation.

Maddy summaryThis bill directs the Attorney General to immediately inform legislative leaders if they have probable cause to believe a state legislator no longer lives in the district they represent. The law requires the Attorney General to notify the presiding officer, minority leader, and clerk of the relevant chamber but explicitly prohibits them from sharing details of any ongoing criminal investigation beyond the residency issue. It applies specifically to legislators and aims to establish a formal process for verifying district residency without revealing sensitive investigative information. The measure would take effect 60 days after passing, though it did not become law in the 2024 session.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes adding a new article to the New Hampshire constitution to explicitly guarantee a fundamental right to abortion. It would protect this right for all individuals up to 24 weeks of pregnancy, allowing restrictions only if there is a compelling state interest addressed by the least restrictive means. After 24 weeks, the bill permits abortion if an attending physician judges it necessary based on applicable standards of care. The legislation also outlines the process for submitting this constitutional amendment to voters for a decision at the November 2024 general election.

Maddy summaryHB 1585 creates a new professional role called a Certified Assisted Living Medication Aide (CALMA) to administer non-injectable medications in residential care facilities under the supervision of a facility administrator. To become a CALMA, individuals must be at least 18 years old, work as employees in these facilities, complete a board-approved education program with at least 40 hours of training, and pass a certification exam. The bill also establishes a requirement for CALMAs to complete eight hours of continuing education every two years and ensures they have access to clinical consultants 24 hours a day. Additionally, the legislation appropriates $300,000 to fund a state loan repayment program for qualified nursing professionals and directs the Department of Health and Human Services to report on a potential student loan forgiveness program for nurses who do not qualify for the repayment assistance.

Maddy summaryThis bill would require doctors who perform abortions to send written reports to their medical facility detailing the date, location, patient's age and residence, method used, gestational age, and any related prescriptions. The medical facilities would then be responsible for compiling this data and submitting an annual report to the state Department of Health and Human Services. The collected information would be used to create statistical tables on maternal health and abortion procedures, which the department would present to the state legislature each year.

Maddy summaryThis bill would require the Secretary of State to publish the location of enrolled bills on a public website until the governor signs or vetoes them. The change aims to make it easier for the public to track legislation that has passed the legislature but is still awaiting final approval. It applies to all bills and resolutions forwarded to the office of legislative services for enrollment. The bill would take effect 60 days after passage, though it was ultimately killed in the legislature.
