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 principle of due process and ensure that the rights of individuals are protected within the judicial system.

The resolution outlines the process for submitting this proposed amendment to the voters during the state general election in November 2026. It mandates that local selectmen include a specific article in their election warrants to gauge public support for the amendment. If approved by a two-thirds majority of voters, the amendment will take effect upon the governor's proclamation. The resolution also includes provisions for how the ballot question will be presented to voters, ensuring clarity and transparency in the voting process.
