Passed · New Hampshire House · Co-sponsor

relative to restoration of competency to stand trial for criminal defendants.

Maddy summaryHB 480 establishes a 2-year pilot program in one New Hampshire county (Merrimack or Strafford) to improve competency restoration for criminal defendants declared incompetent to stand trial. It creates neutral "forensic liaison" roles to coordinate between courts, attorneys, and mental health providers, helping defendants access evaluations, treatment, and reduce barriers to care. The program aims to address New Hampshire’s low restoration rate (44% in 2019) by formalizing a system that currently lacks structured support, unlike national averages showing 81% success. The liaisons will track progress, share updates with the court, and report outcomes to improve the state’s competency restoration process.

relative to repayment regarding appointed counsel for indigent criminal defendants.

Maddy summaryHB 611 proposed requiring indigent criminal defendants (those who cannot afford a lawyer) to repay court-appointed attorneys after their cases concluded. The bill aimed to establish a formal repayment mechanism for legal services provided to low-income defendants in criminal cases. However, the committee voted 25-0 on October 30, 2025, to deem the bill "Inexpedient to Legislate," meaning it was rejected and did not advance further. The bill remains inactive as it was not enacted into law.

relative to protection of employment for members of the general court.

Maddy summaryHB 347 ensures that employees who are members of the state's general court (legislature) can take time off work to attend voting sessions without losing their jobs. Employers with 25 or more employees must allow this time off, requiring staff to provide advance notice of session dates. Employees may use accrued paid leave for these sessions, or take unpaid leave if no paid time is available. Employers who violate this law face civil penalties enforced by the labor commissioner. The law applies to all general court voting sessions and takes effect 60 days after passage.
