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, representatives from law enforcement associations, and public members, all appointed by the governor. The commission is tasked with publishing accreditation standards, conducting assessments, and overseeing compliance with these standards, as well as managing the accreditation process for law enforcement agencies.

The bill includes new legal language that outlines the structure, responsibilities, and operational procedures of the commission, including the ability to adopt rules, establish fees, and accept donations or grants. It also specifies that the commission will report annually on its activities, including details about any donations received. The effective date of the act is set for 60 days after its passage, which is anticipated to be July 28, 2025.
