directing the department of revenue administration to study options for generating state revenue.

HB 1636 requires New Hampshire's Department of Revenue Administration to study and report on at least five distinct revenue options that could generate $500 million annually for state funding. The report, due by October 1, 2026, must detail each option's tax base, estimated revenue, administrative needs, and impacts on households by income group and businesses by size/industry. It does not implement new taxes but mandates a public analysis of potential revenue sources to address the state's "minimum conservative threshold" funding needs. The study will rely on aggregated data, avoid disclosing confidential taxpayer information, and may require external consultants at an estimated cost of $175,000-$600,000.
