This constitutional amendment concurrent resolution seeks to explicitly prohibit slavery and involuntary servitude in the state of New Hampshire, with the exception of using such measures as punishment for a crime where the party has been duly convicted. The amendment would be added to the New Hampshire Constitution as a new article following article 2-b, to be known as article 2-c. The resolution outlines the process for the amendment to be placed on the ballot for the state general election in November 2024, including the wording of the question to be presented to voters and the requirement for a two-thirds majority for the amendment to be adopted.

Currently, the New Hampshire constitution does not explicitly ban slavery or involuntary servitude. If the amendment is adopted, it would result in a constitutional prohibition of these practices, aligning with the resolution's intent to formally abolish slavery and involuntary servitude in the state, except as a form of legal punishment for a crime. The resolution also details the ballot process, including how the question will be printed and the method for voters to indicate their approval or disapproval. The amendment would become effective upon the governor's proclamation of its adoption, provided it receives the necessary two-thirds majority vote.
