Relating to the commissioner of the department of insurance.Providing that the commissioner of the department of insurance be elected.

CACR 17 proposes a constitutional amendment to change how New Hampshire's insurance commissioner is selected. Currently appointed by the governor, the commissioner would instead be elected by qualified voters at every two-year general election starting in 2028. The amendment specifies a two-year term and maintains the commissioner's existing duties, including enforcing state insurance laws. This change requires voter approval in the November 2026 election to take effect.
