Maddy summaryHB 194, titled "relative to the crime of interference with custody," addresses legal provisions concerning custody disputes. The bill's current status shows it was reported favorably by the committee (9-7 vote) with an amendment but remains pending in committee as of November 2025. The provided context does not include specific details about the bill's provisions, such as how it defines or modifies the crime of interference with custody, who it directly affects, or its concrete policy changes. Without additional descriptive information on the bill's text or mechanisms, a detailed summary of its content cannot be provided. The bill appears procedural in nature, focusing on criminal law related to custody, but lacks sufficient detail for a factual policy description.

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 273 grants parents the right to access their minor child's library records at public libraries. The bill directly affects parents of minors and public libraries that maintain such records.

The law takes effect on January 1, 2026, after being signed by Governor Ayotte on August 1, 2025.

Maddy summaryHB 485 allows state lottery winners to keep their identities private by prohibiting the state from publicly disclosing their names or personal information. This directly affects individuals who win significant lottery prizes, preventing public records from revealing their names, addresses, or other personal details. The bill amends existing law to remove requirements that previously mandated the state to publish winner information upon claim. It takes effect on September 30, 2025, after being signed by Governor Ayotte on August 1, 2025.

Maddy summaryHB 667 would have required public school health education classes to show specific videos demonstrating fetal development stages to students. This bill directly affected students in public school health classes by mandating the viewing of these videos as part of the curriculum. The key provision required schools to incorporate these videos into health education, focusing on gestational development. However, the bill was vetoed by Governor Ayotte on July 15, 2025, preventing it from becoming law.

Maddy summaryHB 475 would have modified the standard budget reductions applied to official ballot town meetings in New Hampshire towns. The bill aimed to adjust how much funding is automatically reduced for these local meetings, directly affecting towns that rely on this format for budget decisions. It passed the legislature but was vetoed by Governor Ayotte on July 15, 2025, preventing it from becoming law. The measure focused on changing the default budget calculation method, not on new funding or procedural changes.

Maddy summaryHB 560 is a multi-topic bill that bundles four distinct policy proposals. It would allow parents access to their minor children's medical records, impose penalties for refusing alcohol concentration testing, define how pre-sequestration timber tax revenue is handled, and establish a moratorium on carbon sequestration projects in New Hampshire forests while creating a commission to study their impact on tax revenue and the logging industry. The bill does not create a single unified policy but combines these separate provisions. Key mechanisms include new parental access rules for medical records, penalties for refusing alcohol tests, and a temporary pause on carbon sequestration projects with a mandated study. This bill directly affects parents, healthcare providers, drivers facing alcohol testing, and entities involved in forestry and carbon sequestration in New Hampshire.

Maddy summaryHB 107 requires political advertisements in newspapers, periodicals, and billboards to be clearly labeled "Political Advertising" at the beginning or end. It prohibits publishers, broadcasters, and billboard operators from charging different rates to political candidates, committees, parties, or causes compared to non-political advertisers. Violations carry a $50 fine for the first offense, increasing to $1,000 for repeat violations within five years. The bill specifically removes the requirement to label billboard political ads under this provision, as amended. This law directly affects media outlets and political entities engaging in paid advertising.

Maddy summaryHB 554 clarifies existing rules about where businesses can place advertising signs on state-owned property, such as highways, government buildings, and public rights-of-way. It provides specific guidelines to reduce confusion for businesses and state agencies regarding permitted locations and placement requirements. The bill does not create new restrictions but aims to make current placement rules clearer and more consistent. This directly affects advertising companies and businesses seeking to display signs on state property.
