This bill establishes a new commission to study the legislative bill enrollment process by amending RSA 14 to include a new section, 14:8-a. The commission will consist of three members from the House of Representatives, two members from the Senate, the Senate clerk, the House clerk, and the Secretary of State or their designee. The commission's responsibilities include studying the current procedures for handling bills from enrollment to the governor's desk and identifying potential improvements. Legislative members will receive mileage reimbursement for their duties, and the commission is required to report its findings and recommendations by November 1, 2026.
Additionally, the bill includes a provision for the prospective repeal of the newly established section 14:8-a, which will take effect on November 30, 2026. The remainder of the act will take effect upon its passage. This structure aims to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the legislative bill enrollment process through a thorough examination and subsequent recommendations.
