HB 1033 New Hampshire House · 2026 Regular Session

establishing a commission to study the legislative bill enrollment process.

HB 1033 establishes a commission to study the process for enrolling legislative bills - the procedure handling bills from official recording until they reach the governor. The commission will include eight members: three House representatives (two appointed by the House Speaker, one by the minority leader), two Senate members (appointed by the Senate President), the Senate and House clerks, and the Secretary of State. It must study current enrollment procedures, identify potential improvements, and submit findings and recommendations to legislative leaders and the governor by November 1, 2026. This bill does not change existing laws but creates a formal review of an internal legislative administrative process.
