This concurrent resolution proposes an amendment to the New Hampshire Constitution to establish a formal presumption of innocence for defendants in all cases and suits brought by the state against individuals. Specifically, it states that in any criminal or civil case, whether in equity or law, the accused shall be considered innocent until proven guilty. This amendment aims to reinforce the fundamental legal principle of presumption of innocence within the state's constitutional framework.

If approved, the amendment will be presented to voters during the state general election in November 2026. The resolution outlines the process for including the proposed amendment on the ballot, requiring a two-thirds majority vote for adoption. Should the amendment pass, it will take effect upon the governor's proclamation of its adoption, thereby formally integrating the presumption of innocence into New Hampshire's constitutional law.
