requiring higher educational institutions to report the reception of foreign grants, donations, and contracts to the department of education and the general court.

HB 1776 requires New Hampshire colleges and universities to report all funding from foreign sources exceeding $50,000 annually to the Department of Education and the General Court. Covered institutions must submit quarterly reports detailing the amount, purpose, source, and related contracts of such funding, including gifts, grants, or contracts. These reports become public on the Department of Education website and must include copies of associated agreements. The bill excludes regular tuition payments from foreign students and imposes fines up to $10,000 for non-compliance.
