The New Hampshire Delegate Regulatory Authority Amendment, also known as Question 2, was on the ballot in New Hampshire on November 8, 1988, as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment. It was defeated. This amendment proposed that the legislature may delegate regulatory authority to the executive branch but retain the ability to disapprove the proposed rules according to the law.[1]
