HB 1424 New Hampshire House · 2026 Regular Session

relative to services of a summons.

HB 1424 changes how courts must deliver summonses to law enforcement officers and public officials. It requires summonses to be served by reading them to the person, handing them directly, or leaving an attested copy at their agency's office. The bill also mandates paying travel fees and one day's attendance fee to the recipient. This affects law enforcement employees (full or part-time) and elected or appointed public officials who receive summonses to testify.
