  • Senate Rules Committee Votes to Consolidate Bills Bipartisan Agreement Will Streamline Legislation in 2021
    New Hampshire Senate NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 21, 2020 CONTACT: Carole Alfano, 603.496.0412 Senate Rules Committee votes to consolidate bills Bipartisan agreement will streamline legislation in 2021 CONORD, NH – On a 6-0 vote, members of the Senate Rules Committee today agreed to consolidate all bills for the coming session into categories, clearing the way for better facilitation when public hearings are held remotely beginning in January. Senators called the bi-partisan accomplishment a “great collaboration”. Chairman Jeb Bradley (R-Wolfeboro) thanked all 24 senators for their willingness to participate in the process and staffers who worked so diligently to the organize some 250 bills. He said, “We may not agree on the content of every bill, but I believe the process that the Select Committee on Legislation undertook to categorize all of the proposed legislation was fair and inclusive.” Bradley also thanked Senators Sharon Carson and Cindy Rosenwald as well as bipartisan senate staffers whose expertise was” indispensable in the process." Sen. Donna Soucy (D- Manchester) emphasized the collaborative process and thanked her fellow senators for their input by adding, “By consolidating bills, we will be able to move forward with an efficient session that focuses on the immediate and long-term needs of the state.” The committee members agreed that senators will still have the option for a bill to be considered as a “stand alone” if that is their preference. However, due to consolidation, bills will have one designated sponsor, instead of individuals. The committee stressed they will work with the Office of Legislative Services to ensure that all senators who sponsored legislation that was consolidated are given credit for the bill.
