relative to establishing gold and silver as legal tender.

HB 721 would make gold and silver coins or bars legal tender for all public and private transactions in New Hampshire, provided both parties agree on their fair market value. This bill directly affects anyone conducting transactions within the state, including consumers, businesses, and government entities. Key provisions include allowing unlimited possession of gold or silver, requiring mutual agreement on value for transactions, and taking effect July 1, 2025. The bill does not change tax treatment or mandate state infrastructure changes but notes potential unknown costs for agencies handling precious metal transactions.
