Maddy summarySB 477 requires hospitals and other 340B-covered entities in New Hampshire to submit annual public reports to the Department of Health and Human Services by April 1. These reports must detail patient usage of 340B drugs (by insurance type), financial data including acquisition costs and reimbursements for drugs and other services, net revenue, and charity care costs. The bill mandates separate reporting for hospitals, their practice locations, and contracted pharmacies, along with CEO/CFO attestations confirming accuracy. It aims to increase transparency by making 340B program financial data publicly available and preventing duplicate discounts.

Maddy summaryHB 1668 updates New Hampshire's business profits tax to automatically align with federal Internal Revenue Code changes starting in 2027, replacing the current system that uses a fixed 2018 tax code. It requires businesses to calculate deductions under the current federal code (with a $500,000 cap on certain property deductions for assets placed in service after 2026) and mandates the state tax commissioner to report biennially on federal tax changes affecting New Hampshire. This bill directly affects businesses subject to New Hampshire's business profits tax by changing how their tax calculations integrate with federal law. The policy shift eliminates the need for annual state legislative adjustments to match federal changes, though it may require faster state tax department responses to federal updates. The changes take effect for taxable periods beginning January 1, 2027.

Maddy summaryHB 1585 requires New Hampshire's state and local public retirement systems to prioritize only financial factors when making investment decisions, excluding environmental, social, or political considerations. The bill directly affects retirement systems managing state pension funds, mandating that fiduciaries (like investment managers) act solely in the financial interest of participants and beneficiaries. Key provisions prohibit considering factors such as climate policies (e.g., restricting fossil fuel investments), diversity criteria, abortion access, or firearm industry engagement when managing assets. The law explicitly states that investment decisions must not be influenced by "environmental, social, political, or ideological interests," even if tied to corporate practices. This shifts focus entirely to financial returns and risk, eliminating ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) criteria from retirement fund strategies.

Maddy summaryHB 1746 requires public bodies and agencies to make records from investigations funded by taxpayer money publicly accessible under New Hampshire's right-to-know law (RSA 91-A). It directly affects state and local government entities conducting such investigations. The key provision mandates disclosure of all findings, conclusions, and factual summaries, with redactions permitted only for specific privacy protections like FERPA or HIPAA, and strictly limited to what federal or state law requires. Public officials' personal privacy rights in these investigations are waived, and materials cannot be withheld entirely based on privacy exemptions.

Maddy summaryThis constitutional amendment (CACR 6) proposes adding Article 2-c to New Hampshire's constitution, guaranteeing individuals the right to freely access, use, and employ computation resources like devices and networks. It would prevent laws or regulations from imposing discriminatory rates, restrictions, or unreasonable burdens on this right. The amendment requires voter approval in the November 2026 election to take effect, as it modifies the state constitution rather than creating new laws. It directly affects all New Hampshire residents by constitutionally protecting their access to computing resources.

Maddy summaryHB 102 requires New Hampshire county sheriffs to oversee all federal law enforcement actions within their counties. It mandates sheriffs to have a nonparticipating presence at all federal warrant services and arrests to uphold residents' rights and ensure minimal use of deadly force. Sheriffs must receive advance notice of federal actions and can deem unauthorized or improperly conducted actions (like those without notice or violating deadly force best practices) as unlawful, allowing them to terminate such actions. The bill directly affects county sheriffs, federal agencies operating in the state, and New Hampshire residents by establishing this oversight framework.

Maddy summaryHB 721 would make gold and silver coins or bars legal tender for all public and private transactions in New Hampshire, provided both parties agree on their fair market value. This bill directly affects anyone conducting transactions within the state, including consumers, businesses, and government entities. Key provisions include allowing unlimited possession of gold or silver, requiring mutual agreement on value for transactions, and taking effect July 1, 2025. The bill does not change tax treatment or mandate state infrastructure changes but notes potential unknown costs for agencies handling precious metal transactions.

Maddy summaryHB 640 requires New Hampshire's Attorney General to request and publish aggregated, anonymized data from federal agencies operating in the state, covering metrics like staffing levels, surveillance operations, investigations involving residents, and arrests. The bill mandates a public website displaying this data in a searchable format, showing which agencies voluntarily provided information and which did not, along with quarterly summaries for transparency. The Attorney General must also submit an annual report to the legislature on participation rates and effectiveness, with the state covering costs through new staff positions starting in 2025. This bill directly affects the Attorney General's office and federal agencies in New Hampshire, aiming to increase transparency without compelling federal data sharing.

Maddy summaryHCR 11 is a concurrent resolution declaring that court rulings from the Claremont cases - which directed the legislative and executive branches to define "adequate education," set "accountability standards," and ensure "adequate funding" for public schools - are not legally binding on those branches. It directly affects state lawmakers and governors by asserting their authority to disregard these judicial directives. The resolution’s key provision explicitly rejects the court’s interpretation of education-related responsibilities, framing it as non-binding guidance rather than a legal requirement. This is a procedural resolution (not a law), meaning it doesn’t change policy but formally states the legislature’s position on judicial authority. The bill remains in committee, with recent actions recommending it be referred for further study.

Maddy summaryCACR 6 is a concurrent resolution (not a binding law) that states individuals have a right to use computation resources without infringement. It makes a broad, non-enforceable declaration about computational access but includes no specific mechanisms, regulations, or affected groups. The resolution was referred to committee, where it was deemed "Inexpedient to Legislate" by a 17-0 vote on November 12, 2025, and did not advance further. As a procedural resolution, it does not create new policies or directly affect any individuals or entities.
