This bill establishes the New Hampshire Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission, which is designed to enhance the delivery of law enforcement services and foster accountability and trust within communities through a voluntary state-based accreditation program. The commission will be administratively attached to the New Hampshire Police Standards and Training Council and will consist of various members, including the attorney general, the director of the police standards and training council, a state senator, a state representative, and representatives from law enforcement associations and educational institutions. The governor will appoint members and leadership positions within the commission, which will operate under a majority vote and is tasked with publishing accreditation standards, conducting assessments, and managing the accreditation process.

Additionally, the commission is granted the authority to adopt rules, establish fees, and accept donations or grants to support its operations. The bill includes provisions for the commission to report on its activities, including the identification of donors and the nature of contributions received. The effective date of the act is set for 60 days after its passage, which is anticipated to be July 28, 2025. The bill codifies the commission that was previously established by executive order, thereby formalizing its structure and responsibilities within state law.
