relative to licenses to carry and immunity for law enforcement officers issuing certain firearms licenses.

Maddy summaryThis bill updates New Hampshire laws regarding concealed carry permits and adds legal protection for officers who issue them. It clarifies that residents and non-residents can apply for licenses to carry loaded pistols or revolvers for self-defense, hunting, or target practice, provided they are not banned from owning firearms by state or federal law. The legislation sets specific timelines for issuing permits within 14 days, establishes a $10 fee for residents and $100 for non-residents, and requires that licenses remain valid for all allowable purposes regardless of the original reason for issuance. Additionally, it grants immunity from liability to law enforcement officers who issue these licenses in good faith, shielding them from lawsuits if a permit holder later commits misconduct with a firearm.

relative to declarations of candidacy for president of the United States.

Maddy summaryThis New Hampshire bill requires presidential candidates to include the specific primary date designated by the Secretary of State in their official declaration of candidacy. The law mandates that candidates sign a sworn statement confirming their eligibility under the U.S. Constitution and declaring their party affiliation or status as a recognized candidate. By updating the required form, the legislation ensures that the primary election date is explicitly listed in the official filing documents submitted to the state. These changes take effect on July 13, 2024, and directly impact individuals running for the presidency in New Hampshire.
