This bill establishes a commission to study the state flag of New Hampshire, focusing on its history and the principles of vexillology to assess whether the flag should be redesigned. The commission will consist of various members, including three representatives from the House, one senator, and representatives from the New Hampshire Historical Society and the New England Vexillological Association. The commission is tasked with reviewing the flag's history, examining flag design principles, developing criteria for new designs, and holding public hearings on the submissions. The commission is required to report its findings and recommendations by November 1, 2025.
Additionally, the bill includes a repeal of RSA 3:2-a, which pertains to the commission's establishment, effective November 1, 2025. The new section establishing the commission is inserted into RSA 3, while the repeal indicates that the commission will no longer exist after the specified date. The bill also stipulates that legislative members of the commission will receive mileage reimbursement for their duties, and it outlines the quorum needed for meetings and the timeline for the commission's first meeting.
