New Hampshire HB1637 amends the state's bail and recognizances laws to expedite the scheduling of hearings for motions to modify or revoke bail in domestic violence, stalking, and harassment cases. The bill requires that such hearings be scheduled within 72 hours, excluding weekends and state or federal holidays, regardless of whether the motion is filed by the state or the defense. The reviewing court must consider the district court's findings and orders when making modifications. Additionally, the bill allows for further review of circuit court orders by the superior court.
