Policy and Advocacy

Know Your Rights

The New Hampshire Legislature regularly addresses issues of interest to people with disabilities. It establishes funding levels for services and adopts laws which affect access to public services and accommodations.

Any member of the public may provide input to the legislature. When a bill is being considered, there are committee hearings held in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, and written and spoken public testimony is accepted. Anyone interested in legislative matters may also contact their elected representatives by telephone, email, or in-person to share their ideas and suggestions. You can find your Senator or House member using the links below:

The legislature is required to make its proceedings accessible to people with disabilities.
