Bill Summary
Authorizing and directing the house judiciary committee to investigate whether cause exists for the impeachment of any justice of the New Hampshire supreme court.
AI Summary
This resolution authorizes and directs the New Hampshire House Judiciary Committee to investigate potential grounds for impeaching justices of the New Hampshire Supreme Court, specifically in response to events involving Associate Justice Anna Barbara Hantz Marconi. The investigation stems from Marconi's placement on administrative leave in July 2024, her subsequent indictment in October 2024 for multiple criminal charges, and her no contest plea to a class B misdemeanor in October 2025. The resolution empowers the committee to conduct a comprehensive investigation, including the authority to issue subpoenas, compel testimony under oath, and request the production of various documents and evidence. The committee is instructed to report back to the House of Representatives with any recommended resolutions, articles of impeachment, or other findings related to potential impeachable offenses such as bribery, corruption, malpractice, or maladministration, as outlined in the New Hampshire Constitution. The investigation can be conducted by the full committee, a subcommittee, or the chairman, with broad powers to gather and examine relevant information.
