For those employers who conduct background checks for their employment screening program, please be aware that there may be some forthcoming changes in the New Hampshire County Courts. Due to the economic issues with each state, New Hampshire may be taking a variety of budgetary measures.
News reports this week confirmed rumors that New Hampshire plans to reorganize their court system, eliminating approximately 60 court clerks. The money saving effort, will see many clerks dismissed or demoted. In their place, New Hampshire plans to adopt a “circuit court system” with the remaining clerks managing more courts. If passed by the legislature, the reorganization will go into effect on July 1, 2011. New Hampshire’s court system has not reported whether delays are expected as a result of the reorganization.
