Bill > HB1033

This bill establishes a temporary commission to study and potentially improve the legislative bill enrollment process in New Hampshire, which tracks how bills are handled from their enrollment to reaching the governor's desk. The commission will consist of nine members, including three representatives (two chosen by the House Speaker and one by the minority leader), two senators appointed by the Senate President, the Senate and House clerks, and the Secretary of State or their designee. Legislative members will receive mileage reimbursement, and the commission will elect a chairperson, with its first meeting required within 45 days of the bill's effective date. The commission's primary tasks are to examine the current bill enrollment procedures and identify potential improvements. By November 1, 2026, the commission must submit a comprehensive report with its findings and recommendations to key state officials, including the House and Senate leadership, clerks, governor, and state library. The bill includes a prospective repeal of the commission's section on November 30, 2026, effectively making this a time-limited study group designed to provide insights into streamlining the legislative bill processing system.
