Bill Summary

This bill removes references to the department of business and economic affairs and the office of planning and development, and makes various changes to how certain committees and commissions participate or operate.

AI Summary

This bill makes several changes to state government operations, primarily by removing references to the "Office of Planning and Development" and replacing them with the "Division of Planning and Community Development," which is now part of the "Department of Business and Economic Affairs." It also makes adjustments to how certain committees and commissions operate, including allowing members to participate in meetings remotely via telephone or video conference under specific conditions, and it establishes a Penalty Appeal Board administratively attached to the Department of Labor, which will operate independently. Additionally, the bill repeals the grant program and associated fees for the New Hampshire Innovation Research Center.
