relative to establishing a commission to review and make recommendations regarding technology-based start-up business support from the state of New Hampshire.

Maddy summaryThis bill creates a new commission to evaluate how New Hampshire supports technology-based start-up businesses. The commission will include representatives from the state legislature, the governor's office, and private industry sectors such as venture capital and tech alliances. Its main task is to assess the current business ecosystem, compare it with other states, and propose ways to improve funding, tax incentives, and job training opportunities. The group must submit its findings and legislative recommendations to state leaders by November 1, 2024. Additionally, the bill repeals an existing, similar commission to prevent duplication of efforts.

Co-sponsor HB 1595

Passed · New Hampshire House · Co-sponsor

relative to adjustment of the child support guidelines based on parenting time, medical support, and child care expenses.

Maddy summaryHB 1595 updates the state's child support guidelines to more accurately reflect parenting time, medical expenses, and child care costs. The bill defines "parenting time" as the total number of days a child spends with each parent and introduces a calculation factor that adjusts support amounts based on how much time each parent has, capping the adjustment at a maximum value. It also modifies how income is calculated by allowing parents to deduct actual child care and medical support payments from their gross income before determining their share of the support obligation. These changes apply to new child support orders issued on or after January 1, 2025, while existing orders remain unchanged until their next scheduled review.
