relative to enabling the state treasury to invest in precious metals and digital assets.

Maddy summaryHB 302 allows New Hampshire's state treasurer to invest up to 5% of public funds (including general and revenue stabilization funds) in gold, silver, or platinum bullion, coins, or digital assets with over $500 billion in average market capitalization. It requires all digital assets to be held through secure custody solutions meeting strict security standards (like private key control by the government and multi-party transaction approval) or via qualified custodians. Precious metals must be held either as exchange-traded products, in physical form with qualified custodians, or directly by the state. The bill explicitly prohibits investments exceeding the 5% cap and mandates specific custody safeguards for all assets.

Co-sponsor HB 240

Failed · New Hampshire House · Co-sponsor

relative to nonpayment of dog licensing fees.

Maddy summaryHB 240 modifies the process for addressing unlicensed dogs by changing the local governing body's obligation to issue warrants for nonpayment of licensing fees from mandatory to discretionary. The bill also allows these warrants to authorize local law enforcement to seize unlicensed dogs, but only after a written warning is issued to the owner. If a dog is seized, it would be held for seven days, during which the owner can reclaim it by licensing the dog and paying daily holding and veterinary fees. Otherwise, ownership of the dog transfers to the holding facility.
