Bill > HB331

This bill modifies the procedures for enrolled bills in New Hampshire by requiring the secretary of state to publish the location of bills and resolutions that have passed both legislative branches on the state's public website. Currently, bills that pass both the Senate and House of Representatives are forwarded to legislative services for enrollment and preparation for submission to the governor. The bill adds a new requirement that the secretary of state must publicly display the location of these enrolled bills on the state's website or a linked website, and this information must remain accessible until the bill is signed, vetoed, or becomes law without the governor's signature. The new provision aims to increase transparency by making it easier for the public to track the status of legislative bills. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, giving the secretary of state time to implement the new website publication requirement.
