STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand One

A RESOLUTION urging the supreme court to expand the membership of the advisory committee on rules to include legislative members.

Whereas, there are concerns that the rules adopted by the supreme court under part 2, article 73-a of the New Hampshire constitution are adopted without input from the legislature; and

Whereas, there is a supreme court advisory committee on rules, which currently consists of 4 judges, 2 attorneys, a clerk of court, and 2 public members; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the senate and house of representatives urge the supreme court to expand the supreme court advisory committee on rules to 11 members, to include a representative of the senate designated by the senate president and a representative of the house designated by the speaker of the house; and

That the senate clerk transmit copies of this resolution to the chief justice of the supreme court, the chief justice of the superior court, and the administrative judges of the district and probate courts.
