Bill > HB1003

This bill prohibits the Grafton County attorney from engaging in the private practice of law, meaning they cannot provide legal services to clients outside of their official county attorney duties or accept any fees for legal work beyond their official salary. The only exception is that the county attorney may provide free legal services to immediate family members, as long as doing so does not conflict with their official responsibilities. This restriction is specific to Grafton County and is designed to ensure that the county attorney's primary focus remains on serving the county's legal needs without being distracted or potentially compromised by maintaining a separate private legal practice. The bill will go into effect immediately upon passage, and it amends the New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated (RSA) by adding a new section to regulate the professional conduct of the Grafton County attorney.
