Bill > HB1264

This bill amends the existing laws in New Hampshire (RSA 21:6 and 21:6-a) to clarify the definitions of "resident," "inhabitant," "residence," and "residency." The key provisions are that a resident or inhabitant is a person who is domiciled or has a place of abode in the state and has demonstrated a current intent to make that place their principal place of physical presence, without the previous requirement of an "indefinite future" intent. The bill also clarifies that temporary absences from one's residence or residency do not interrupt or lose that status if there is an intent to return. The bill would take effect on July 1, 2019.
