This concurrent resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to the New Hampshire Constitution that would modify the powers of the governor concerning the state's military forces. Specifically, it seeks to require the approval of the Executive Council before the governor can call up the National Guard or exercise command over the state's military forces. The amendment aims to ensure that the Executive Council has a say in military decisions, thereby limiting the governor's unilateral authority as commander-in-chief.

If approved, the amendment will be presented to voters during the state general election in November 2026. The ballot will include a clear question regarding the proposed changes, and if two-thirds of voters support the amendment, it will take effect upon the governor's proclamation of its adoption. Currently, the Executive Council does not have the authority to prevent the governor from exercising control over military forces, but this amendment would change that dynamic.
