This bill establishes a new commission, designated as the "Commission for Sovereign State Rights," to study the economic, legal, and sociological implications of New Hampshire potentially asserting its sovereign state rights. The commission will consist of various members, including representatives from the state legislature, public appointees, and representatives from specific organizations such as the Business and Industry Association and the New Hampshire Medical Society. The commission is tasked with exploring critical questions related to the fiscal implications of independence, currency usage, interstate travel, law enforcement, healthcare, defense, and the management of federal properties, among others.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the commission to file both interim and final reports detailing their findings and recommendations. The interim report is due by November 1, 2026, while the final report is expected by November 1, 2027. The bill also includes a repeal clause for RSA 1:13-a, which pertains to the commission's establishment, effective November 1, 2027. The new section of law is inserted into RSA 1, while the repeal indicates the removal of the previous statute related to the commission.
