Bill > HB372

This bill aims to clarify the definitions and usage of the terms "resident," "inhabitant," "residence," and "residency" in New Hampshire law. It states that these terms shall have the same meaning for all purposes unless the law explicitly establishes a different meaning for a specific limited purpose. The bill amends the existing statutory definitions to specify that a person must be domiciled in New Hampshire and have demonstrated a current intent to make it their principal place of physical presence to be considered a resident or inhabitant, eligible to vote or hold public office in the state. The bill also includes a severability clause to ensure the validity of the rest of the chapter if any provision is found invalid.
