Rep. Linda Ryan

Maddy summaryHB 1456 repeals a specific legal statement (RSA 2025, 141:389) in New Hampshire law that declared the legislature's authority over public education. This bill removes the legislative declaration itself but does not change how public education is governed, funded, or managed. It directly affects the statutory text of the law by eliminating this declaration, with no new policies or requirements added. The repeal takes effect immediately upon the bill's passage, as specified in the text. This is a procedural change to the law, not a substantive shift in education policy.

Maddy summaryThis House Resolution urges the New Hampshire legislature to fully fund K-12 public education at the level determined by the state Supreme Court in the Claremont series of rulings. It specifically references the court's 1993 and 1997 decisions, which established that the legislature must define, cost, fund, and ensure accountability for an adequate education. The resolution calls on the legislature to comply with the court's most recent findings regarding education funding requirements. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new law but formally requests legislative action.
