Fiscal Note Quick Guides

2022/2023 Legislative Session

In order to provide better information and data to the New Hampshire Legislature for deliberation on pending legislation, as well as to the public in general, the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration has created Fiscal Note (FN) Quick Guides. These "Quick Guides" are created from relevant sections of the Department's Fiscal Note Worksheets, which are submitted to the Legislative Budget Assistant in the drafting of the fiscal notes for certain House and Senate bills. These Fiscal Note Quick Guides are for the bills as originally introduced. The Department hopes the Quick Guides will be a useful source of information for Legislators and the public.

To access a copy of any bill referenced below, please visit the NH General Court at www.gencourt.state.nh.us and enter the bill number within "Find a Bill" in the State Legislation Dashboard.

FN Quick Guides for bills in prior Legislative Sessions may be obtained by emailing the Department at: DRALegislativeGroup@dra.nh.gov and specifying the particular bill and session year you are requesting.
