Bill Summary
Relative to qualifications for office.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law to add two new provisions related to qualifications for public office in New Hampshire. First, it specifies that a member of the state legislature who is called to serve in a military reserve or National Guard unit and is unable to perform their legislative duties for more than 180 consecutive days can have their office declared vacant. Second, the bill prohibits individuals who have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or who have aided or comforted the enemies of the state, from holding elective office in New Hampshire, unless Congress has removed such disability. The bill also provides definitions for "insurrection or rebellion" and "aid or comfort" in this context.
