The functions and responsibilities of the New Hampshire Department of Agriculture, Markets & Food, like other state agencies, are largely determined by the authority given to the department by the New Hampshire General Court, the official name of the state legislature. Regulatory requirements that apply to the public must be formalized in laws or rules.

The following is a partial list of Legislative laws and rules for the New Hampshire Department of Agriculture, Markets & Food. The department makes no warranty, express or implied, as to whether these laws and rules are correct, complete, up-to-date or as to any other relative fact. Independent verification of the contents is essential. A complete listing of laws by general topic and RSA number.

Recent changes made in the General Court web site have changed links to the text of many RSAs (laws) and rules. A complete list of the Rules of the Department can be found under Agr and Pes in the New Hampshire Code of Administrative Rules on the NH General Court's web site. A complete list of New Hampshire RSAs (laws) can be found on the General Court web site as well. Thank you for your patience as we collect and post new links.
