House Resolution No. 4, introduced by Representatives Steven Smith and Simpson, grants the Speaker of the House the authority to hire personnel as deemed necessary for the functioning of the House. The resolution stipulates that the Speaker has the discretion to determine the number of staff required and their respective roles.

Furthermore, the resolution allows the Speaker to set the compensation for these employees, subject to the approval of the House subcommittee of the Committee on Legislative Facilities. This process of determining salaries and wages must align with the guidelines established by RSA 17-E:5, ensuring that the compensation is consistent with the rules and regulations governing legislative staff remuneration.
