HB 1073 New Hampshire House · 2026 Regular Session

clarifying when the secretary of state shall complete the registry of New Hampshire decentralized autonomous organizations.

HB 1073 extends the deadline for New Hampshire's Secretary of State to establish a registry of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), which are online organizations operating without central control. The bill changes the current law (RSA 301-B:14 and RSA 301-B:31) to require completion by January 1, 2027, instead of the previous deadline. This affects the Secretary of State’s office directly, giving them additional time to implement the registry. The bill does not alter DAO regulations or requirements - only the timeline for creating the registry. It is a procedural change with no substantive policy impact.
