establishing a study committee to determine if and how the department of agriculture could receive electronically-submitted pesticide use reports.

HB 1053 establishes a legislative study committee to examine whether the New Hampshire Department of Agriculture should accept pesticide use reports electronically instead of via paper. The committee will assess if electronic submissions should be mandatory or optional and whether an online system could automate spray notification processes, with findings due by November 1, 2026. This bill does not change current reporting requirements but sets up a review to potentially modernize the process.
