H.R.29

Requesting the New Hampshire Supreme Court to provide opinions on constitutional questions regarding legislative and judicial powers.

The bill requests the New Hampshire Supreme Court to provide opinions on several constitutional questions. These include whether the legislature retains authority over court administration, appropriations, and structure, except where restricted by article 72-a. It also asks if the legislature can enact laws affecting the administration of courts, and if the judicial power includes making rules of evidence, procedure, and practice. The bill further inquires whether the legislature can establish temporary tribunals or commissions to hear petitions for redress of grievances.
