The statute
RSA 301-B establishes decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) as recognized legal entities in New Hampshire. Enacted through HB 645 (2024, ch. 263), sponsored by Rep. Keith Ammon and signed by Governor Sununu on July 26, 2024, the statute provides DAOs with legal personality, limited liability protections, and a registration framework.
The statute designates the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) as the registry administrator and requires that the registry itself be established as a blockchain system (§ 301-B:14(VI)).
The registry implementation
The NH DAO Registry Design Sprint (April 18–19, 2026) at UNH-IOL brings together legislators, state officials, and industry participants to architect the registry's technical implementation under RSA 301-B.
This site supports that effort by making the statutory text publicly accessible, navigable, and open to collaborative annotation.
