HR 41 New Hampshire House · 2026 Regular Session

instructing the house of representatives to investigate whether grounds exist to impeach Executive Councilor Karen Liot Hill.

This House Resolution (HR 41) directs the New Hampshire House of Representatives to investigate whether grounds exist to impeach Executive Councilor Karen Liot Hill. It specifically cites her alleged use of official resources - like government email and office authority - to recruit plaintiffs and refer them to a partisan law firm opposing the state's election laws, potentially breaching her duty to act as a fiscal watchdog. The resolution authorizes the Judiciary Committee to subpoena witnesses and documents to examine if her conduct constitutes "malpractice" or "maladministration" under the state constitution. This is a procedural step to determine if formal impeachment proceedings should begin, not a policy change.
