New Hampshire Proposes Legal Tender Act for Gold and Silver
In December 2023, New Hampshire legislators introduced House Bill 1674 (HB1674), aiming to establish the "New Hampshire Legal Tender Act" and create a state bullion depository. This bill proposes recognizing gold and silver as legal tender within the state, allowing these precious metals to be used for the payment of debts, public charges, taxes, and dues. Additionally, HB1674 seeks to enable the digital use of gold and silver, facilitating modern transactional methods backed by these metals. The legislation also outlines the establishment of a state-run bullion depository to securely store gold and silver assets. As of September 26, 2024, the bill is still under consideration, with a subcommittee work session scheduled for October 1, 2024.
UPDATE: HB1674 died in chamber
