Bill > HB337

This bill introduces two key changes to existing New Hampshire law regarding the judicial council. First, it requires all members of the judicial council, including those appointed by the judiciary and members of the New Hampshire Bar Association, to submit financial disclosures, expanding the existing financial reporting requirements to include these specific council members. Second, the bill mandates that the judicial council must now report any fee schedules it establishes to both the legislature and the state supreme court, creating a new transparency mechanism for the council's financial and administrative activities. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, giving the judicial council time to implement these new reporting and disclosure requirements. These changes aim to enhance accountability and provide more oversight of the judicial council's operations by ensuring that its members' potential financial conflicts of interest are disclosed and that its fee-related decisions are communicated to key government bodies.
