Abstract
A major revision of laws governing bank branching and bank mergers was passed by the New Hampshire Legislature and signed by the state’s governor in June 1979. This banking legislation, HB 777, opened the way for statewide branching and statewide merger by New Hampshire banks. Since its passage, there have been numerous bank mergers and acquisitions resulting in the emergence of a number of relatively large banking organizations throughout the state.
