Every jurisdiction in this catalog has entries whose figures move when a bill passes, whose act takes effect on a later date, or whose program is repealed while its agency keeps advertising it. This page watches each jurisdiction's law, follows a bill through its own jurisdiction's process where its stages are recorded, and names the catalog entries each instrument touches.
2 instruments in New Hampshire. Tracked across 51 jurisdictions. Every other jurisdiction on the board is still watched by hand.
A bill that died is listed only where a guide, an agency, or a news story has described it as current law. That is the failure that puts a number in front of a veteran which no assessor, registrar, or school will honor.
▲Expands benefitsPoints several veteran tax credits, the Veterans Home and the employment preference at the RSA 21:50 definition, which reaches a general discharge.
A conforming act with substantive effect. Effective August 31, 2026 it replaced older discharge language with a cross-reference to the definition in RSA 21:50 across the code, touching at least RSA 72:28-b (all veterans’ tax credit), RSA 72:35 (tax credit for service-connected total disability), RSA 72:36-a (exemption for a specially adapted homestead), RSA 119:1 and 119:2 (the New Hampshire Veterans’ Home and the qualifications of its board of managers), RSA 119:6 (veteran employment preference at the home), RSA 283:4 (preference in public employment) and RSA 261:86 (special number plates for former prisoners of war, Purple Heart recipients and Pearl Harbor survivors). Because RSA 21:50, I(a)(2) reaches an honorable discharge, a general discharge under honorable conditions and an uncharacterized discharge based on a service-connected injury, illness or disability, every one of those provisions is now open to a veteran with a general discharge who was previously outside it. RSA 72:28, the standard and optional wartime credit, was not amended and still requires an honorable discharge, so the two neighbouring property tax credits now carry different discharge tests. Tracked because no published New Hampshire benefit guidance reflects the change, a veteran refused before August 31, 2026 should apply again, and because RSA 72:27-a, IV arguably requires a town that previously adopted RSA 72:28-b, 72:35 or 72:36-a to vote again before the wider eligibility applies locally, which is unresolved.
=No change to benefitsPuts the state veterans cemetery under its own director rather than the adjutant general; no eligibility changes.
Amended RSA 110-B:74 to replace administration of the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery by the adjutant general with direction by "an unclassified director of the state veterans cemetery who shall be qualified to hold that position by reason of education and experience", and rewrote the director’s duties in RSA 110-B:76 in ten paragraphs effective September 6, 2022. The replacement version of RSA 110-B:74 does not take effect on a calendar date. The published statute prints both versions under contingent headers: one "effective until the terms of 2022, 322:3, II and 6, II are met" and one "effective upon the terms of 2022, 322:3, II and 6, II being met". Flagged because a reader of the statute cannot tell which version is currently operative, the catalog therefore cannot state who directs the cemetery, and a condition-contingent effective date of this kind will not appear in any secondary description of the cemetery. Eligibility for interment is separately left to regulations the adjutant general adopts under RSA 110-B:78, I, so the statute states no service or discharge test at all.
