enabling homestead operations to use commercial kitchen equipment in preparing food for sale.

Maddy summaryHB 150 amends New Hampshire law to allow home-based food producers (called "homestead food operations") to use commercial kitchen equipment in their primary residence kitchens. It specifically permits this for non-hazardous foods prepared for sale, provided the equipment can be cleaned and sanitized within the home kitchen area. The bill defines "commercial kitchen equipment" as professional-grade tools designed for heavy use, but requires it to meet home kitchen sanitation standards. This change directly affects small-scale home food businesses in New Hampshire seeking to scale operations without moving to a commercial facility.

establishing a committee to study adding statewide resources to assist with the investigation, training, prosecution, and prompt response of animal cruelty.

Maddy summaryHB 153 establishes a committee to study how New Hampshire could create statewide resources for animal cruelty cases. The committee, composed of three House members and one Senate member, will examine current law enforcement training, identify best practices for prosecution and response, and recommend ways to form a coordinated statewide resource group. It must report its findings and recommendations to state leaders by November 1, 2025. This bill does not fund or create new resources itself, but sets up a process to evaluate how to improve animal cruelty investigations and responses. (HB 153, 2025 session)

relative to the penalty for incorrect application of fertilizers.

Maddy summaryHB 291 proposes a new penalty structure for the incorrect application of fertilizers to urban turf and lawns. The bill would apply to any person or corporate agent who violates existing regulations on fertilizer use. Under the proposed system, a first offense would result in a written warning. A second offense would incur a $250 fine per acre and be classified as a violation. For a third or subsequent offense, the individual or corporate agent would be guilty of a misdemeanor.

Primary HR 18

Passed · New Hampshire House · Lead sponsor

urging the New Hampshire congressional delegation to sponsor legislation relative to, and urging the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to adopt regulations, allowing for small scale and very small slaughter plants to use the Federal Meat Inspection Act’s Custom Exempt meat processing inspection criteria with a third-party inspector present at slaughter, so that processed beef, pork, lamb, and chevron (goat meat) can be sold as individual cuts directly from the farm producer to the end consumer.

Maddy summaryThis resolution urges New Hampshire's congressional delegation to sponsor federal legislation and the USDA to adopt regulations that would allow small-scale slaughter plants to use the Federal Meat Inspection Act's Custom Exempt process with a third-party inspector present. This change would enable farmers to process beef, pork, lamb, and goat meat at their farms and sell individual cuts directly to consumers, rather than requiring USDA on-site inspection. It directly affects small farms and local processors in New Hampshire and similar communities facing limited slaughter capacity. The policy shift aims to increase local meat access by expanding existing inspection flexibility currently available for poultry and non-amenable species.
