Maddy summaryHB 524 amends New Hampshire law to require the New Hampshire Vaccine Association to disburse all collected assessments (including funds in the state vaccine purchase fund) by the end of each fiscal year, with a maximum 90-day extension. It also establishes a legislative committee to study the association's efficacy, composed of three House members (appointed by the Speaker) and two Senate members (appointed by the President). The committee must gather input from relevant entities and submit findings and recommendations to legislative leaders and the governor by November 1, 2026. This bill directly affects the Vaccine Association’s financial operations and the committee members’ responsibilities.

Maddy summaryHB 233 requires the New Hampshire Vaccine Association's board of directors to audio and video record all meetings and publish those recordings on the association's website in an accessible format within 48 hours of each meeting. This bill directly affects the New Hampshire Vaccine Association by mandating transparency in its public proceedings. The key provision is the 48-hour posting requirement for all recorded meetings, aiming to make the association's decision-making process more accessible to the public. The bill was introduced in March 2025 but was ultimately deemed "Inexpedient to Legislate" by committee in October 2025.

Maddy summaryHB 361 prohibits school districts from requiring students or staff to wear face masks as a condition of attending school. The law directly affects public and charter schools across the state by removing mandatory mask policies, though it does not prevent voluntary mask use. Key provisions ban school boards from adopting rules that mandate mask-wearing in classrooms or school facilities. The bill became law when Governor Ayotte signed it on July 15, 2025, and takes effect September 13, 2025. It does not address other health measures or mask requirements for specific health conditions.

Maddy summaryHB 571 requires public schools in New Hampshire to include Constitution Day (September 17) as part of their existing mandatory patriotic exercises. This bill directly affects all public schools by amending current requirements for patriotic activities to specifically include Constitution Day observances. The key provision mandates that schools incorporate educational components about the U.S. Constitution into their patriotic exercises, without adding new funding or administrative burdens. The law became effective August 1, 2025, following its passage through the legislature and signing by Governor Ayotte.

Maddy summaryThis is a New Hampshire state House resolution (HR 12), not a federal bill, calling on Congress to reverse a 2013 law change. It urges reinstating a prior prohibition that prevented U.S. government agencies from creating domestic propaganda targeting American citizens. The resolution claims the 2013 Smith-Mundt Modernization Act - which lifted that ban - has allowed government to promote preferred narratives, position itself as the arbiter of truth, and use psychological tactics against the public. The resolution was approved by the New Hampshire House committee and passed the full chamber in March 2025, but it has no legal effect on federal law.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes creating a New Hampshire Legal Tender Act that would allow gold and silver bullion, along with digital representations of these metals, to be used as legal tender for private debts and state taxes. It establishes a state-run bullion depository to securely store these metals and permits individuals and businesses to hold accounts for storing, transferring, and exchanging bullion without incurring tax liabilities on exchanges or sales. The legislation also allows taxpayers to report income in a functional currency of their choice, such as gold or silver, and requires the state to maintain detailed records of all depository transactions for at least seven years. However, the bill was ultimately not recommended for future legislation during a 2024 interim study, indicating it did not advance to become law.
