This bill establishes a prohibition on the Grafton County Attorney from engaging in the private practice of law, with a specific exception for providing legal services to family members, provided that there is no conflict of interest. The new legal language inserted into the current law specifies that the Grafton County Attorney shall not directly or indirectly engage in private legal practice or accept any fees or compensation beyond their official salary. The provision of legal services to family members without charge is allowed as long as it does not interfere with the attorney's official duties.

The bill amends RSA 7 by adding a new section, 7:34-h, which clearly outlines these restrictions. The effective date of the act is set for June 5, 2026, upon its passage. This legislative change aims to ensure that the Grafton County Attorney remains focused on their official responsibilities without the potential conflicts that could arise from private legal practice.
