This bill proposes the establishment of a committee to study the impact of the housing crisis on the disability community in New Hampshire. The bill acknowledges that the housing crisis, exacerbated by the 2008 financial downturn, has led to increased housing costs, reduced homeownership, and a scarcity of affordable housing, disproportionately affecting minority and marginalized groups, including individuals with disabilities. It notes that many adults with disabilities are forced to live with their parents due to the lack of supportive housing options.

The committee will consist of two members from the Senate, appointed by the Senate President, and three members from the House of Representatives, appointed by the Speaker of the House. These members will receive mileage compensation at the legislative rate for their service. The committee's duties are to study the specific effects of the housing crisis on the disability community since 2008. A chairperson will be elected from among the members, and the committee must hold its first meeting within 45 days of the act's effective date. A quorum for the committee is set at four members. The committee is required to report its findings and any recommendations for proposed legislation by November 1, 2024. The act will take effect upon its passage. There are no insertions or deletions indicated in the provided text, suggesting that this is a new piece of legislation without amendments to existing laws.
