Bill > HB729

This bill requires the Department of Education to hire an attorney for the specific purpose of reviewing and recodifying existing education laws, which are primarily found in Title XV, Chapters RSA 186 through 200-N. The attorney's tasks will include identifying any laws that are repetitive, contradict each other, or could be combined into a more streamlined structure. The attorney will report their findings and any proposed legislative changes to the Commissioner of Education, and their work is expected to be completed by September 30, 2025. The bill appropriates $100,000 from the education trust fund, which is a dedicated fund for educational purposes, to cover the costs of this attorney, and this appropriation will be available until June 30, 2026, and will not lapse, meaning any unused funds will remain available for this purpose. The Commissioner of Education, in consultation with the Attorney General, will oversee the attorney's work.
