This resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to repeal Article 72-a of the New Hampshire Constitution, which currently vests judicial power in the Supreme Court, the Superior Court, and any lower courts established by the legislature. The amendment aims to restore the original language of Article 4, granting the General Court full authority to create and manage courts without the stipulation of judicial power being vested in specific courts.
If approved, the amendment will be presented to voters during the state general election in November 2026. The ballot will include a question asking whether voters support the repeal of Article 72-a and the restoration of the original provisions of Article 4. For the amendment to take effect, it must receive approval from two-thirds of those voting on the measure.
