Amends the New Hampshire constitution to allow the Executive Council to vote on the governor's military powers.
The bill proposes an amendment to the New Hampshire constitution, specifically altering Article 51. Currently, the governor holds full command over the state's military forces without the Executive Council's intervention. If the amendment passes, the Executive Council would gain the authority to vote on whether the governor can exercise these military powers. This change would be put to a vote in the 2026 general election, with the amendment taking effect upon the governor's proclamation of its adoption.
