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catalog has entries whose figures move when a bill passes, whose act takes effect on a later date, or whose program is repealed while its agency keeps advertising it.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 benefitsRaises the ceilings on the optional veterans', combat service and surviving spouse credits, though a town must vote again before its amount rises.
Amends RSA 72:28, II to raise the optional veterans’ tax credit band from $51 to $750 up to $51 to $1,000; RSA 72:28-c, II to raise the optional tax credit for combat service from $50 to $500 up to $50 to $750; and RSA 72:29-a, II to raise the optional surviving spouse credit from $701 to $2,000 up to $701 to $2,500. All three take effect April 1, 2027, and the published statutes print the current and future versions of each paragraph side by side under bracketed effective-date headers. Tracked as watching a later date, and flagged in substance for a reason particular to New Hampshire: none of these increases reaches a single veteran automatically. RSA 72:27-a, IV provides that an amendment to a credit amount applies in a municipality that previously adopted the provision only after the municipality complies with the adoption procedure, so a town that adopted a credit in an earlier year keeps its voted amount until a fresh warrant article or council vote passes. The act raises ceilings, not credits, and a veteran told their credit is going up in April 2027 should ask whether their town has voted.
▲Expands benefitsLets a Guard member transfer the tuition waiver to a spouse, until the paragraph is repealed on July 1, 2027.
Added RSA 110-B:63-c, IV, letting a member of the New Hampshire National Guard who has completed an initial mandatory service obligation of no less than 6 years transfer the tuition waiver to a spouse for use in a degree-enhancing curriculum in the community college or university system, at the cost of a 4-year reserve duty service obligation running from the date of transfer, with the spouse able to transfer it back and the two barred from using it simultaneously. Section 1 of the same act added the DEERS-based definition of spouse at RSA 110-B:63-b, VI. Section 4 of the act repeals paragraph IV effective July 1, 2027, and the published statute carries the bracketed note. Tracked as watching a later date because the window to transfer closes on that date: a member who wants to move the benefit to a spouse must do it before July 1, 2027 and should weigh the additional 4-year obligation, and because a member who transfers shortly before the repeal will be relying on a paragraph that no longer exists when the spouse enrols, which the act does not address.
