September 22, 2021
Summary
The New Hampshire Supreme Court affirmed the Governor’s Office for Emergency Relief’s denial of GAP Fund applications, holding that the court has subject‑matter jurisdiction via a writ of certiorari and that the denial does not violate equal protection, procedural or substantive due process, or the arbitrary‑capricious standard. The court applied rational‑basis review to the constitutional claims and concluded the agency’s classification was lawful.
