Heretofore, NH has conducted redistricting in committees composed of members of the NH House and Senate. In NH and in other states the process of redistricting has routinely becomes an often bitterly contested, expensive and litigated, partisan battle. The word frequently used to describe the result is \"gerrymandering.\" This bill creates a framework in statutory law which will enable NH to have the next redistricting process conducted by an independent commission. The bill is designed to have the redistricting process undertaken by 15 citizens, selected from a pool of 45 citizens who fulfill the qualifications set out in the bill, including party, non-party status, and with as little partisan impact as is reasonably possible. The commission is independent but the process continues to involve the Secretary of State, and the elected leadership of both the NH House and Senate. The process leaves the ultimate decision to adopt the commission's plan in the legislature as our NH Constitution requires. 21 other states have adopted an independent process for redistricting.

A person shall be eligible for appointment to the commission if the person has registered as a voter in New Hampshire, and has been a member of the same political party or with no political party since the previous statewide election. II. Each commission member shall have voted in 2 of the last 3 statewide general elections immediately preceding his or her application for appointment to the commission. III. No person shall be eligible to serve as a member of the commission if, at any point during the 4 years prior to submitting an application for appointment to the commission, the person: (a) Has been a candidate for, or elected to, any federal, state, or county elective public office. (b) Served as an officer or employee of, or consultant to, a major political party or a campaign committee of a candidate for federal, state, or county elective public office. (c) Served as an elected or appointed member of the state committee of a political party. (d) Has been registered as a lobbyist in New Hampshire. (e) Has contributed 75 percent or more of the individual campaign contribution limit allowable under the Federal Election Campaign Act, or any successor law that replace the Federal Election Campaign Act, to any one federal candidate.

As used in this section, a member of a person's immediate family is one with whom the person has a bona fide relationship established through blood or legal relation, including parents, children, siblings, and in-laws. V.(a) By joining the commission, a member waives his or her right to hold any federal, state, county, elective public office or to hold any appointed state public office for a period of 4 years from the date of appointment to the commission, and agrees to complete a financial disclosure form 15A as is required of legislators before accepting appointment as a commissioner. (b) A member of the commission shall not be eligible, for a period of 2 years from the appointment, to serve as an officer or employee of, or as a consultant to, the New Hampshire general court, or any individual legislator in the state or in the United States Congress, or to register as a lobbyist in this state. 662-B:3 Appointment of Commissioners. I. The secretary of state shall identify the pool of eligible commissioners. He or she shall, to the extent practicable, notify all eligible persons and invite them to apply. These efforts shall include, but not be limited to: (a) Advertising the application period and criteria in all daily newspapers in the state once a week for 4 consecutive weeks. (b) Advertising the application period and criteria on the home page of all state agency websites. (c) Requesting media to publicize the commission's search for eligible members. II.(a) A person who is eligible to serve as a member of the commission may submit an application to the secretary of state no later than February 1 of each year ending in the number one. From all timely and eligible applications received, the secretary of state shall choose 45 potential members of the commission by March 15 of each year ending in the number one. The 45 persons so selected shall proportionally represent the 5 current executive council districts. In addition to fair geographic representation, the secretary of state shall, to the extent practicable, achieve racial, ethnic, and gender diversity within the applicant pool, reflec-tive of the state's diversity. (b) The 45 persons so selected shall be divided into 3 pools: 15 members who are members of the largest political party in the state; 15 members who are members of the next largest political party in the state; and 15 persons who are not members of either the largest or next largest political party in the state. The secretary of state shall interview the 45 persons, screening for applicants who are compromise oriented, are able to be impartial, and have an appreciation for New Hampshire's diverse demographics and geography. As a result of those interviews, and no later than May 1 of each year ending in the number 1, the 3 pools shall be reduced by 5 persons each. The majority and minority leaders in each house of the general court shall review the 30 potential members for a period of up to 3 weeks and may each strike 2 applicants, up to a maximum of 8 total strikes by the 4 legislative leaders in total. (c) From the potential members remaining, and no later than May 22 of each year ending in one, the secretary of state shall appoint at random 3 members who are members of the largest political party in the state, 3 members who are members of the next largest political party in the state, and 3 persons who are not members of either the largest or next largest political party in the state. These 9 members shall then appoint the final 6 members from those persons remaining in the pool. Of the final 6 members, 2 members shall be members of the largest political party in the state, 2 members shall be members of the next largest political party in the state, and 2 persons shall not be members of either the largest or next largest political party in the state. III. In the event of substantial neglect of duty, gross misconduct in office, or inability to discharge the duties of office, a member of the commission may, after being served written notice and given an opportunity for a response, be removed by a vote of 11 members of the commission. A finding of substantial neglect of duty or gross misconduct in office may result in referral to the New Hampshire attorney general for criminal prosecution. IV. Vacancies on the commission shall be filled when they occur, by selecting a new member from among the original pool of applicants still willing to serve and from the same party category as the member that held the now vacant position, or by seeking a replacement in the same manner as initial appointments. V. The term of office of commission members expires upon the appointment of the first member of the succeeding commission. 662-B:4 Commission Meetings. I. The commission shall act in public meetings by the affirmative vote of at least 9 members, including at least 2 members who are members of each of the 2 largest political parties in the state and 2 who are not members of either the largest or next largest political party in the state. II. All meetings of the commission shall be open to the public. The commission shall publicly post notice of its meetings on the commission website and other appropriate outlets at least 7 days prior to such meetings. All records of the commission, including all communications to or from the commission regarding the work of the commission, shall be made available for public inspection. III. The commission shall hold at least one public meeting in each county prior to drawing any maps and at least one public meeting in each county after releasing any proposed maps. IV. The commission shall create a website that shall provide, at a minimum, a description of the role of the commission in the redistricting process, timely information to the public about the time, place, and purpose of each meeting of the commission, reports, minutes, and such other information that will support an open and transparent process. V. The commission shall provide a meaningful opportunity for all persons to participate in the public meetings, including, but not limited to, issuing notices in multiple languages and ensuring that translation and sign language services are available at all hearings at the commission's expense or through partnership with outside organizations. Meetings shall be held only in spaces that are accessible under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended. VI. Commission meetings shall be adequately advertised and planned so as to encourage attendance and participation across the state. This includes scheduling meetings outside of regular work hours and using technology that allows for real-time, virtual participation and feedback. VII. The commission shall be considered a public body subject to RSA 91-A. No documents created or received by the commissioners or staff as part of official duties, including emails and text messages, shall be exempt from disclosure for any privilege other than attorney-client privilege. VIII. Commissioners and staff may not communicate with outside persons attempting to influence commissioners or commission action outside of public meetings. To the extent that commissioners and staff receive such communications, the identity of the person or group and the subject of the communication shall be publicly disclosed on the commission website. 662-B:5 Developing Redistricting Maps. I. During the map drawing process, any member of the public may submit maps or portion of maps for consideration by the commission. These submissions shall be made publicly available and shall include the name of the person making the submission. Electronically submitted maps may be posted on the commission website. II.(a) The commission shall release proposed maps and shall display the proposed maps, in a manner determined by the commission, providing that such display shall include posting on the commission website for a minimum of 14 days for public comment and by distribution to the news media in a manner designed to achieve the widest public access reasonably possible before establishing a final plan. Additionally, the efforts to achieve access shall include but not be limited to: (1) Advertising the availability of the proposed maps in all daily newspapers in the state. (2) Advertising the availability of the proposed maps on the home page of all state agency websites. (3) Requesting media to publicize the availability of the proposed maps. (b) When releasing a proposed map, the commission shall also release population data, geographic data, election data, and any other data used to create the plan. III. The commission shall issue with all proposed and final maps written evaluations that measure the maps against external metrics. These metrics shall cover all criteria set forth in RSA 662-B:6, including the impact of the maps on the ability of minority communities to elect candidates of choice, measures of partisan fairness using multiple accepted methodologies, and the degree to which the maps preserve or divide communities of interest. IV.(a) No later than January 15 of any year ending in 2, the commission shall act to approve final plans for New Hampshire county commission, house, senate, executive council, and congressional districts. Upon approval, the commission shall submit the final New Hampshire house and senate, executive council, and congressional district plans to the senate president, speaker of the house of representatives, and senate and house minority leaders.

The Secretary of State would identify the pool of eligible individuals to serve as commissioners, notify such eligible persons and invite them to apply, and use advertisements and media to publicize the search for eligible members. The Secretary of State shall select 60 qualified individuals from this process and further interview and screen these individuals to offer a list of 30 individuals to the House and Senate majority and minority leaders of the General Court for further review and selection, and the Secretary shall then appoint 9 members who will appoint the final 6 members. The Secretary of State shall provide administrative and staff support to the commission.\n\nThe Department of State indicates the process of selection of commissioners is involved and would be concurrent with election responsibilities, which may necessitate additional staff. Actual costs are indeterminable at this time.\n\nThe Legislative Branch assumes additional costs associated with independent commission member mileage reimbursement would be addressed through appropriations to the Secretary of State's Office. Expenses of the leadership of the General Court in striking applicants and voting on final plans could be absorbed without additional legislative funding.\n\nAGENCIES CONTACTED:\n\nDepartments of State and Justice, Legislative and Judicial Branches", "in_text": [], "chars": 15547}, "nver": 0, "namd": 0, "rsa": {"RSA 91-A": "/laws/91-a"}, "amends": {}, "related": [{"g": 0, "o": "2019-2020/SB8", "n": "SB 8", "t": "establishing an independent redistricting commission.", "y": 2020, "c": "Died", "s": "Its language was offered as amendment 2019-2802h to {b}; the House adopted it, 224-141."}, {"g": 0, "o": "2019-2020/HB1665", "n": "HB 1665-FN-A", "t": "establishing an independent advisory commission on redistricting.", "y": 2020, "c": "Died", "s": "Its language was offered as amendment 2020-0899h to {b}; the House adopted it, 203-121."}, {"g": 1, "o": "2021-2022/HB121", "n": "HB 121-FN-A", "t": "establishing an independent redistricting commission.", "y": 2021, "c": "Died", "s": "Filed again as {b}, with the same text."}, {"g": 1, "o": "2021-2022/SB80", "n": "SB 80-FN-A", "t": "establishing an independent advisory commission on redistricting.", "y": 2021, "c": "Died", "s": "Filed again as {b}, with much the same text."}, {"g": 2, "o": "2019-2020/SB8", "n": "SB 8", "t": "establishing an independent redistricting commission.", "y": 2020, "c": "Died", "s": "This term's {b} has the same text."}, {"g": 2, "o": "2019-2020/HB1665", "n": "HB 1665-FN-A", "t": "establishing an independent advisory commission on redistricting.", "y": 2020, "c": "Died", "s": "This term's {b} has much the same text."}]}
