GET INVOLVED
New Hampshire's Citizen Legislature offers an unparalleled opportunity to make your voice heard on local energy policy matters. It is a long-held tradition that every bill gets a hearing and a vote, and there is no limit on the number of bills that can be submitted each year. This approach fosters a close connection between legislators and the concerns of their constituents, enabling a more direct and responsive form of governance.
However, the sheer number of bills and the confusing parliamentary procedures mean the State House can be confusing for the uninitiated. By becoming a member of Clean Energy NH, you'll gain exclusive access to our weekly policy newsletter, monthly calls, and our comprehensive bill tracking spreadsheet. You'll be able to keep abreast of which bills to take seriously and which you can safely ignore.
