This concurrent resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to require the election of the state insurance commissioner in New Hampshire. Currently, the commissioner is appointed by the governor, but if the amendment is approved, the commissioner will be elected by qualified voters starting in the biennial general election of 2028. The term of office for the elected commissioner will be two years, and the individual will be responsible for enforcing and administering the state's insurance laws.
The resolution outlines the process for submitting this amendment to voters during the state general election in November 2026. It includes specific instructions for local officials to include the proposed amendment in their election warrants and details the wording of the ballot question. If the amendment receives approval from two-thirds of those voting on it, it will take effect upon the governor's proclamation of its adoption.
