Maddy summaryThis bill updates the rules for requesting a vote recount in New Hampshire state general elections. It allows any candidate to ask for a recount if the vote difference is less than 20% of the total votes in the relevant towns or if the total number of ballots cast exceeds the number of registered voters on election day. Candidates must submit a written request to the secretary of state by the Friday following the election and pay the required fees. The law will not take effect until 60 days after it is passed.

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a state-level disaster relief program in New Hampshire to help municipalities repair roads and bridges after natural disasters, even without a federal declaration. It allows the state to declare emergencies based on local damage assessments and provides up to $5 million per municipality per year for critical infrastructure repairs when local funds are insufficient. To qualify, a town must show that damage costs at least half of its annual budget and that it cannot wait for federal aid, while accepting state money means forfeiting future FEMA reimbursement for those specific repairs. The legislation also creates and consolidates two state funds to finance these emergency responses and sets up a committee to review requests for individual assistance.
