This bill encompasses several legislative changes. Firstly, it repeals the requirement for house and senate committee services staff to jointly prepare an annual index of all commissions. It also repeals various task forces, study committees, and study commissions, including the air pollution advisory committee, the John G. Winant memorial commission, and committees related to health coverage markets and condominium/homeowners' associations. Additionally, the bill transfers the responsibility of maintaining the John G. Winant memorial to the joint legislative historical committee.

The bill establishes a committee to study the appeals process administered by the environmental councils under RSA 21-O, with the aim of expediting resolutions and improving cost-effectiveness. This committee will include two members from the house and one from the senate, and it is required to report its findings and recommendations by November 1, 2024. The effective date for the repeal of the committee to study laws relating to condominium and homeowners' associations is set for January 1, 2025, while the rest of the act takes effect on August 2, 2024. The bill also makes amendments to remove cross-references to the now-repealed air pollution advisory committee in other statutes.
