New Hampshire Bill Book

This bill would completely cancel the state tax on business profits, which means big companies would pay less while regular people might face cuts to public services.

New Hampshire uses the business profits tax to help pay for public schools and state services. This bill would completely delete that tax. If profitable companies stop paying their share, the state will lose a huge amount of money. That means regular people will either have to pay higher local taxes to make up the difference, or they will lose important state programs. It is a massive giveaway to big companies at the expense of everyday citizens.

Big Business

• Who Bears the Cost (hurts) — Shifts the tax burden away from profitable businesses.. By repealing the business profits tax, the state loses a major revenue source, leaving regular taxpayers to make up the difference or face service cuts.
• Funding Tilt (hurts) — Massive financial giveaway to corporations.. The bill completely eliminates the tax that businesses pay on their profits, keeping that money in corporate pockets instead of funding state needs like the education trust fund.

Pushing for it: Profitable businesses
Bearing the cost: State of New Hampshire and public schools

This bill would completely cancel the state tax on businesses, which means less money for public schools and a bigger tax burden on regular people.

When a state wipes out a major tax on businesses, that money has to come from somewhere else. This bill would erase the Business Enterprise Tax. The text shows this tax currently helps pay for the state education trust fund. If businesses stop paying their share, regular taxpayers will eventually have to make up the difference or watch their local schools lose funding. It is a massive giveaway to companies at the expense of everyday citizens.

Big Business

• Who Bears the Cost (hurts) — Shifts the tax burden away from businesses and onto regular taxpayers.. Repeals the Business Enterprise Tax entirely.
• Funding Tilt (hurts) — Directly cuts funding for public schools.. Section 1 removes the business tax from the list of money that goes into the education trust fund.

Property owners could fill out a form each year to avoid funding any local tax credit or exemption, unless they already receive one.

The bill would stop a student who gets an education tax credit scholarship from also getting money from the education freedom account in the same year.

Families could lose a source of help for school costs, while the state avoids paying twice for the same student; now is the chance to speak up before it passes.

This bill would force public schools to let students leave during the day for religious classes and give them school credit for it.

This bill blurs the line between public schools and private religion. It forces schools to give academic credit for outside religious classes. If a school refuses, the group running the class can sue the school for money. That means taxpayer dollars meant for public education could end up paying for lawsuits and legal fees.

• Rights & Protections (hurts) — Forces schools to endorse outside classes. Public schools are required to award academic credit for religious courses taught by outside groups.

The bill would make every bike and e‑bike rider pay $50 a year and a $100 fine if they don’t register, using the money for bike paths.

Public employers would have to tell employees about any complaint against them within five business days, unless the law blocks it.

Citizens should watch this bill because it could force whistleblowers to lose anonymity, making it harder to report government wrongdoing, while giving employees quick notice that may affect their jobs.

Everyday People

• Accountability (helps) — Increases employer accountability by requiring notice. Employers must inform employees of complaints promptly.
• Rights & Protections (hurts) — Reduces whistleblower anonymity. Requires disclosure of complainant identity unless specific exceptions apply.

This bill would raise the tax you pay on restaurant meals, hotel rooms, and rental cars from 8.5 percent to 9 percent.

This bill asks regular people to pay a little more when they eat out or take a trip. The extra half-percent tax would cost you a few extra cents on a burger, but it adds up to millions of dollars for the state. Supporters say the money helps fund schools and local towns. Critics say things are already expensive enough without another tax hike. Since the bill is still moving through the legislature, now is the time to tell your lawmakers if you support paying a bit more to fund state programs.

Everyday People

• Who Bears the Cost (hurts) — Consumers pay the tax. The bill directly increases the tax rate that everyday people pay at the register for meals and lodging.
• Funding Tilt (helps) — Raises state revenue. The tax hike brings in millions of dollars for the state education fund and local municipalities.

Pushing for it: State and local governments ($28,000,000)
Bearing the cost: Consumers paying for meals, rooms, and rental cars ($28,000,000)

This bill would stop towns from charging you a local fee to register your car, saving you money but costing local budgets millions of dollars.

At first glance, this looks like a huge win for anyone who owns a car. It wipes out the local fee you pay every year to renew your registration. But there is a massive catch. Towns rely on that money to fix roads and pay for local services. If this passes, towns will lose over 300 million dollars a year. To make up for it, they will almost certainly have to raise your property taxes or cut services. The state legislature's committee already voted 18 to 0 against it, showing that lawmakers see the danger of defunding towns.

Everyday People

• Who Bears the Cost (hurts) — Shifts the burden to property taxpayers. Wipes out a user fee for car owners but forces towns to find 350 million dollars elsewhere, which usually means higher property taxes.
• Funding Tilt (hurts) — Massive loss of local funding. Towns and cities would lose between 300 million and 350 million dollars in revenue every single year.
• Rights & Protections (helps) — Lowers costs for citizens. Directly removes a mandatory fee that everyday people have to pay to drive their cars.

Pushing for it: Car owners who save on fees
Bearing the cost: Local towns and cities in lost revenue per year ($350,000,000)

This bill would let injured workers earn full retirement credit while recovering, helping them save for the future.

This bill would help workers who get hurt on the job. Right now, if you get workers' compensation, you can only count one year of that time toward your retirement. This bill would take away that one-year limit. This means if you are hurt for longer, you could still earn retirement credit for all that time. This helps make sure your retirement savings keep growing even when you cannot work. Some might worry this could cost employers and the state more money for retirement plans. But for workers, it means more security for their future.

Workers

• Rights & Protections (helps) — Expands retirement benefits for injured workers.. Removes the one-year cap on creditable service towards retirement for members receiving workers' compensation, allowing them to accrue more retirement credit during injury recovery.
• Who Bears the Cost (hurts) — Increases employer contributions to the retirement system.. The fiscal note states that increasing service credit for periods without active employment generates costs because no member or employer contributions are made during this time, increasing employer contribution rates and actuarial accrued liabilities.

Pushing for it: Injured workers
Bearing the cost: State employers and local government employers (Indeterminable Increase)

This bill would stop landlords from charging you more than one application fee in a year, saving you money when looking for a home.

This bill would help people looking for a place to live by stopping landlords from charging many application fees. Right now, if you apply to a few apartments from the same landlord, you might have to pay a fee for each one. This bill would say you only pay one fee every 12 months, no matter how many places you apply for with that landlord. Landlords might say they need these fees to cover their costs for checking backgrounds and credit. But for renters, these fees add up quickly. This bill is still being discussed, so now is the time to let your lawmakers know if you think this is a good idea to help renters save money.

Everyday People

• Accountability (helps) — Limits landlord ability to repeatedly charge fees.. The bill would stop landlords from charging more than one application fee from the same prospective tenant within a 12-month period, regardless of the number of rental units for which the tenant applies or leases.
• Rights & Protections (helps) — Protects renters from repeated application fees.. The bill defines 'application fee' to include charges for background checks, credit checks, or administrative costs, ensuring these are covered by the one-fee limit.
• Who Bears the Cost (helps) — Reduces financial burden on renters.. No landlord shall require or accept more than one application fee from the same prospective tenant within any period of 12 months, regardless of the number of rental units for which the tenant applies or leases.
• Process Transparency (neutral) — No direct impact on process transparency.. The bill focuses on fee limits, not how application processes are communicated.
• Funding Tilt (neutral) — No specific funding changes.. This bill does not involve government funding or appropriations.

Pushing for it: Renters/Tenants

This bill would stop landlords from charging too much for pets, making it easier for people with animals to find and keep homes.

This bill was a win for people who rent with pets, aiming to make housing more affordable and fair. It would have stopped landlords from charging big, non-refundable fees and capped monthly pet rent. While landlords say these fees help cover potential damage, many tenants feel they are too high and make it hard to find a home. However, the bill has already been voted down by a committee and that vote was accepted by the House. This means it is unlikely to become law this session, but the idea could come back in the future.

Everyday People

• Accountability (helps) — Landlords would be held to clearer rules about pet-related charges, making it harder for them to charge excessive fees.. The bill sets a clear cap on pet rent and prohibits nonrefundable fees, increasing landlord accountability for fair pricing.
• Rights & Protections (helps) — Tenants with pets would have more predictable and lower costs, protecting them from financial barriers to housing.. By limiting pet rent and banning nonrefundable fees, the bill protects tenants from high costs that can make housing inaccessible for pet owners.
• Who Bears the Cost (helps) — Tenants would pay less in upfront and monthly pet fees, shifting some potential risk for pet damage back to landlords, though landlords could still charge for actual damage.. The financial burden of pet-related charges would be reduced for tenants, while landlords would still be able to recover costs for actual damage.
• Process Transparency (neutral) — The bill does not directly address process transparency beyond setting clear rules for pet fees.. The bill focuses on the substance of pet fees rather than the transparency of the legislative or rental process itself.
• Funding Tilt (neutral) — No specific funding is mentioned in the bill's text.. The bill does not involve state funding or appropriations, focusing instead on regulating private rental agreements.

Pushing for it: Tenants with pets

This bill would make it a crime for elected officials to post your private information online to threaten or harass you.

Right now, politicians have a lot of power and a big audience. If an elected official gets mad at a regular person, they could post that person's home address or phone number online to encourage bullying. This bill would stop that by making it a crime for politicians to dox the people they represent. It also gives you a clear way to force the government to take your information down if you are in danger. The fact that a committee voted 12 to 0 for this shows that protecting people's privacy is a popular idea.

Everyday People

• Accountability (helps) — Holds powerful people accountable. Creates a specific criminal penalty for elected officials who abuse their platform to harass constituents.
• Rights & Protections (helps) — Protects citizen privacy. Gives ordinary people a new protection against doxxing and a process to remove their information from public view if threatened.
• Who Bears the Cost (neutral) — Neutral cost impact. The bill does not shift costs onto consumers or taxpayers in a meaningful way.
• Process Transparency (neutral) — Neutral transparency. Does not significantly change how government meetings or records are accessed, except for targeted safety removals.
• Funding Tilt (neutral) — No funding bias. The fiscal note shows no major appropriations or revenue changes.

This bill lets you register to vote at the exact same time you get or renew your driver's license.

Registering to vote should not be a hassle. This bill makes it easy by pairing it with a trip you already have to make. When you show your documents to get a state ID, the clerk will hand you a voter form. You can fill it out right there. Then, the state will mail it to your local town clerk for you. It is a smart way to help more regular people vote.

Everyday People

• Rights & Protections (helps) — Makes it much easier for citizens to exercise their right to vote.. Requires the DMV to offer voter registration forms and process them for applicants who prove their identity and citizenship.
• Who Bears the Cost (hurts) — The state has to pay for extra staff and mail without new funding.. The fiscal note estimates $208,000 in costs for the first year, but the bill does not provide funding to pay for it.

Pushing for it: Unknown
Bearing the cost: State of New Hampshire ($208,000)

This bill would give businesses money back on taxes if they help pay for child care or health insurance for some workers, making these benefits more common.

This bill is good for working families because it would make it easier for businesses to offer child care and health insurance. If businesses get a tax break for these things, they might be more likely to offer them. This could help parents work knowing their kids are cared for and help more people get health coverage. However, giving tax breaks means the state would collect less tax money, which could affect other state services. It also only helps certain employees with health care benefits, like those working specific hours.

Businesses

• Accountability (neutral) — Neutral. This bill creates incentives, not rules for accountability for harm or wrongdoing.
• Rights & Protections (helps) — Positive. It encourages businesses to offer valuable benefits like child care and health insurance, which can help families and protect their well-being.
• Who Bears the Cost (hurts) — Cost shifted to state budget. The state budget would lose tax money from these credits, meaning less money for other state services, but businesses would save money by providing these benefits.
• Process Transparency (neutral) — Neutral. The bill is moving through the regular legislative process with committee actions recorded.
• Funding Tilt (helps) — Positive. The funding tilt is positive because it encourages businesses to spend on employee benefits that directly help workers and their families.

Pushing for it: Businesses providing child care or health benefits, and their employees
Bearing the cost: New Hampshire state budget/taxpayers

The bill would end the special protection that hospitals got for following COVID emergency orders, so people could sue them for any harm.

The state is deciding whether hospitals stay shielded or become accountable. If the bill passes, patients can hold hospitals responsible for mistakes, which may improve safety. Hospitals may face higher costs and insurance premiums, but the public gains a stronger right to sue.

Insurers could not increase your car insurance just because your spouse or other household member has a DUI or a suspended license.

Right now, families can lose money when a spouse’s DUI makes insurers hike rates. This bill would stop that, keeping your bill steady, and forces insurers to focus on the driver you actually insure.

Everyday People

• Accountability (helps) — Stops insurers from using unrelated records.. Adds clear rule limiting premium calculations.
• Rights & Protections (helps) — Protects consumers from unfair rate hikes.. Ensures premiums reflect only the insured driver’s record.

This bill would help towns build more senior and workforce housing by letting them give tax breaks to developers without losing state money.

This bill would give towns new ways to build homes for seniors and workers. Right now, towns find it hard to offer tax breaks to developers for housing because it can make them look richer to the state, meaning they get less state help for schools and other things. This bill would fix that problem by changing how the state counts these tax breaks. It would also make sure these tax breaks are only for certain kinds of housing, not fancy condos. Some people might worry that giving tax breaks to developers means less money for towns in the short term, but supporters say it will bring more housing and people, which helps everyone in the long run. Since this bill is still being decided, now is the time to tell your lawmakers if you think your town needs more housing options.

Everyday People

• Accountability (helps) — Requires public findings for housing needs.. Prior to entering into a credit enhancement agreement under this section, the governing body of the municipality shall make findings in public record that the project addresses one or more housing needs.
• Rights & Protections (helps) — Aims to increase access to needed housing.. Bill purpose states "New Hampshire faces a shortage of senior housing, skilled care facilities, and workforce housing" and aims to "encourage housing construction".
• Who Bears the Cost (helps) — Clarifies tax treatment to prevent towns from being penalized.. Including housing-related captured assessed value in equalized valuation penalizes towns by artificially inflating their state property tax base, disincentivizing use of TIF for housing. ... the department shall exclude from equalized valuation the rebated portion of housing-based captured assessed value.
• Process Transparency (helps) — Requires reporting and clear treatment of rebates.. The department shall require that property assessors report on credit enhancement agreement- and tax increment financing-related housing data. ... all towns, cities, towns, village districts, unincorporated towns, unorganized places, and counties shall be required to treat rebates as non-lapsing special revenues, or otherwise require annual appropriations for purposes of transparency.
• Funding Tilt (helps) — Helps towns fund housing development without state aid penalty.. The department shall exclude from equalized valuation the rebated portion of housing-based captured assessed value.

Pushing for it: Developers of qualifying housing projects, municipalities (by not losing state aid).
Bearing the cost: General public (potential short-term reduction in tax revenue for general fund, though offset by new development).
