Two House-passed bills moved to the Senate on Saturday, covering estate tax thresholds and acupuncture licensing.

On the Move

HB 1042 — Unified contingent credit limit Sponsored by Rep. Joe Sweeney (R), this bill would raise the unified contingent credit limit, a threshold that determines how much wealth can pass to heirs before certain tax or regulatory obligations apply in New Hampshire. It has passed the House and is now in the Senate.

HB 1269 — Acupuncture licensing qualifications Sponsored by Rep. Peter Schmidt (D), this bill updates the qualifications required to practice acupuncture in New Hampshire, potentially modernizing licensing standards for practitioners. It has also cleared the House and moves to the Senate for consideration.


Both bills now await Senate committee review. No bills were signed into law, killed, or introduced today.
