Lawmakers study private animal boarding rules
Effective upon passage, the law creates a three-member New Hampshire committee to study private animal boarding facilities. The Senate president appoints one senator, and the House speaker appoints two representatives. Members elect a chair, meet within 30 days of the law taking effect, and need two members for a quorum. The committee must review current laws, licensing, and how animal harm, loss, or death is reported. It must identify gaps in the rules and seek testimony from people or groups with relevant knowledge. Findings and any suggested legislation are due by November 1, 2025. Recipients are the Senate president, House speaker, both chamber clerks, governor, and state library. Members get mileage reimbursement at the legislative rate for committee duties; no dollar amount is specified. The law itself adds no new boarding requirements or enforcement powers.
