State House Gears Up for Next Session

November’s elections resulted in the NH House at 222 Republicans and 178 Democrats and the Senate at 16 Republicans - 8 Democrats. Organization Day in December confirmed incumbent House Speaker Sherman Packard and new Senate President Sharon Carson. 

The NH Center for Nonprofits is following a long list of legislative service requests filed for the 2025 session, including a concerning proposal, LSR 0615, filed by Representative Bolton of Plymouth to erode the nonprofit property tax exemption. Nonprofits that sponsor charitable gaming activities may also be concerned with an LSR filed by Representative Ames of Jaffrey, LSR 0847, that would set annual limits on the amount of charitable gaming revenue which may be distributed to one charitable organization.
