Maddy summaryThis bill would require municipalities to send any excess money collected from the statewide education property tax to the state's education trust fund instead of keeping it locally. It also prohibits the state revenue commissioner from setting negative tax rates on real property to offset other taxes. These changes aim to ensure that surplus education funds are directed toward the state education trust while preventing specific tax rate adjustments. Although the bill was introduced, it was laid on the table and did not become law during the 2024 legislative session.

Maddy summaryThis bill allows the New Hampshire veterinary licensing board to issue temporary conditional licenses to veterinarians who graduated from schools not accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association. To qualify, these foreign-educated veterinarians must have legal U.S. immigration status and be actively working toward passing the required national clinical proficiency examination. The license permits them to practice only under the direct supervision of a fully licensed veterinarian while they complete their final exam steps. The board retains the authority to revoke this temporary license immediately if necessary. The law takes effect 60 days after it is passed.
Maddy summaryThis bill updates pesticide laws to allow licensed agricultural pilots to use drones for spraying chemicals at heights of 20 feet or less. It specifically exempts these drone operations from certain notification requirements that would otherwise apply to aerial pesticide use. The law takes effect on September 1, 2024, and only covers applications conducted by individuals holding valid state registration or permits.
Maddy summaryThis bill updates the rules for a specific local tax cap in New Hampshire towns and districts that have already chosen to use it. It clarifies that the estimated tax amount for the upcoming year must include both the operating budget and all other approved spending, ensuring the total does not rise by more than the previously set cap unless adjusted for specific factors. The law applies automatically to existing tax cap programs without requiring towns to pass new local amendments to adopt it. It became effective on September 1, 2024, after being signed into law by the Governor.
Maddy summaryThis bill expands property tax exemptions for disabled veterans who own homes specially adapted with assistance from the Veterans Administration. To qualify, veterans must be 100 percent permanently and totally disabled, a double amputee, or blind in both eyes due to service-connected conditions, and they must provide proof of these disabilities to local assessors. The exemption applies to the veteran or their surviving spouse who has not remarried, removing all property taxes on their specially adapted homestead. The law takes effect 60 days after it is passed.
