This bill extends the term length for certain county officers in Coos County, New Hampshire, from two years to four years, starting with the 2024 state general election. The affected positions include the county attorney, treasurer, register of deeds, register of probate, and sheriff. The bill amends RSA 7:33 and RSA 653:1, V to reflect these changes, inserting language that specifies the new four-year term for Coos county officers, similar to a previous amendment that applied to Rockingham county officers.

The bill's enactment means that, following the 2024 state general election, the newly elected county attorney, treasurer, register of deeds, register of probate, and sheriff in Coos County will serve four-year terms instead of the previous two-year terms. This change aims to provide continuity and potentially reduce the frequency of elections for these positions. The act was approved on July 3, 2024, and will take effect on September 1, 2024.
