Legislative Update and Information

 
The NHaCOP has a legislative  committee which works with our appointed and elected officials on matters which concern us. We also work with other stakeholders on these issues which are important to all citizens in New Hampshire. Our primary legislative concerns involve public safety, quality of life and law enforcement employment issues. In the past, we have taken positions opposing the expansion of legalized gambling, supporting the death penalty and working to support the NH Retirement System. The association has a lobbyist to work with us on these matters. Chief Robert Wharem is the chairman of this committee focusing on legislative matters.  Anyone with questions about specific bills or concerns may contact them or other members of the committee. Check the news page for updates on current bills when the legislature is in session. 
 
What follows are updates on current bills before the Legislature, and positions taken by our Legislative Committee and President:
