Bill Summary
Instructing the house of representatives to investigate whether grounds exist to impeach Executive Councilor Karen Liot Hill.
AI Summary
This resolution instructs the House of Representatives to investigate potential grounds for impeaching Executive Councilor Karen Liot Hill based on allegations of misconduct. The resolution outlines specific accusations that Hill used her official government resources, including her email account, to facilitate litigation against New Hampshire's election laws by recruiting plaintiffs and referring them to an out-of-state law firm. The resolution argues that her actions constitute malpractice and maladministration, as defined in the New Hampshire constitution, by placing personal or partisan objectives above her constitutional duties and undermining public confidence in her official role. The House of Representatives is authorized to form a committee with broad investigative powers, including the ability to issue subpoenas, compel testimony under oath, and request the production of documents and electronic records. The committee can conduct its investigation through various means such as interrogatories, depositions, or hearings, and can exercise these powers through its chairman, the full committee, or a subcommittee, with the ultimate goal of reporting its findings and potential articles of impeachment to the full House of Representatives.
