This bill amends the existing law regarding the payment of claims arising from the actions or activities of the New Hampshire National Guard. Specifically, it increases the maximum payment for such claims from $500 to $1,000. Additionally, the bill expands the scope of claims that can be compensated by including those against the Department of Military Affairs and Veterans Services. The new legal language specifies that claims can arise from both the National Guard's activities and those against the aforementioned department.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the process for filing claims, which must be submitted to the adjutant general for investigation and recommendation to the governor and council. It also clarifies that any claims that are partially or fully covered by the United States will not be eligible for payment under this law. The changes will take effect 60 days after the bill's passage, which is set for July 13, 2025.
