LEGISLATIVE
The League is an active advocate for credit unions on both the state and federal level. In order to be successful in that role, it must gather information, construct compelling and coherent arguments, organize support, communicate effectively and be persistent before Congress and the New Hampshire General Court.
New Hampshire Federal and State Legislative Activities Committee
A crucial part of the process of determining legislative goals and strategies is the New Hampshire Federal and State Legislative Activities Committee. The Committee is a body comprised of New Hampshire credit union leaders that represent the interest and needs of their credit union colleagues. Through their research and deliberations, they establish legislative priorities.

Legislative Proposals
Each year there are numerous legislative filings that are of importance to the credit union community in New Hampshire. Some are filings designed to help credit unions serve their members better, and some are broad based bills that have an effect on all sectors of the financial services industry. The League closely monitors all of these proposals and, when appropriate, advocates for the credit union position in every forum.
