HB-348 New Hampshire House
April 8, 2026
Adds a 90 day residence requirement to get local assistance in NH. Applies to town provided general assistance. It is widely believed that this legislation will make it more difficult for vulnerable people to access safety net services.
Laurel Stavis writes 'HB348, allows towns to condition public assistance on proof of residency through car registrations, lease agreements and property tax bills – the very documents that those seeking help seldom have.' Read the story here.
The bill now goes to the governor's desk for signature.
