This bill amends RSA 14:8 regarding the enrollment of laws by the secretary of state. It introduces new provisions that require the secretary of state to publish the location of any enrolled and approved bill or joint resolution on its public website or a linked public website. This publication must remain accessible until the bill or joint resolution is either signed or vetoed by the governor or becomes law without the governor's signature.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the process for the enrollment of bills and resolutions that have passed both branches of the legislature, stating that they must be forwarded to the office of legislative services for enrollment and then to the committee on enrolled bills for final approval. The secretary of state is tasked with maintaining these bills and resolutions as public records of the state. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
