This resolution directs the New Hampshire House of Representatives to investigate whether there are sufficient grounds to impeach Executive Councilor Karen Liot Hill. It cites the New Hampshire Constitution, which allows for the impeachment of executive council members for offenses such as bribery, corruption, malpractice, or maladministration. The resolution outlines specific allegations against Liot Hill, including her use of official resources to promote litigation against the state's election laws, which is seen as a breach of her duties and a conflict of interest. Her actions are characterized as malpractice and maladministration, undermining public trust in her role and the executive council's functions.
To facilitate this investigation, the resolution grants the committee the authority to issue subpoenas for testimony and documents, ensuring that it can gather necessary evidence. The committee is empowered to conduct hearings and take testimony under oath, with the ability to ask any relevant questions. Ultimately, the committee is expected to report back to the House of Representatives with its findings and any recommendations regarding potential articles of impeachment or other actions.
