relating to the public utilities commissioners.Providing that the public utilities commissioners are elected.

This bill (CACR 30) proposes a constitutional amendment to change how New Hampshire's public utilities commissioners are selected. Currently appointed by the governor and executive council for staggered six-year terms, commissioners would instead be elected by qualified voters starting in the 2028 general election for six-year terms. The elected commissioners would continue to enforce insurance laws and administer public utilities regulations as defined by state law. The amendment requires voter approval in the November 2026 election to take effect.
