New Hampshire HB1695 amends the state's laws to prevent any guide or explanation regarding the effect of a proposed constitutional amendment from appearing on the ballot. The bill repeals and reenacts RSA 663:3-a to ensure no voter's guide to the text of the amendment is included on ballots. It also modifies RSA 663:3 to specify the form of the ballot, including the text of the proposed amendment and the results of the vote on ordering the amendment. This act takes effect 60 days after its passage.
