Those of us who served with Linda during part or all of her tenure in the House will remember her positive and upbeat manner, as well as her fair and collaborative approach in reaching consensus with others. In Linda’s beloved town of Mont Vernon, she leaves a legacy of public service, kindness and community spirit.

(Pending question: Adopt committee amendment 2015-2499h) HB 297, protecting individual customer data from disclosure by a public utility. (Pending question: Inexpedi- ent To Legislate) HB 475, prohibiting the state from engaging in acts of civil forfeiture.

(Pending question: Inexpedient To Legislate) HB 1557-FN, relative to alcohol and drug treatment programs. (Pending question: Ought To Pass) HB 1621-FN-L, relative to sanctuary cities. (Pending question: Inexpedient to Legislate) HB 1673-FN-LOCAL, establishing a cash balance plan within the state retirement system. (Pending ques- tion: Adopt majority amendment 2016-0223h) SB 219-FN, relative to breastfeeding. (Pending question: Adopt committee amendment 2015-2499h) WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9 CONSENT CALENDAR CHILDREN AND FAMILY LAW HB 1118, relative to the determination of parental rights and responsibilities and establishing a presumption in favor of shared residential responsibility. OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT. Rep. Frank Edelblut for Children and Family Law. This bill establishes as the starting point in a custody pro- ceeding that it is in the best interest of the child, barring extenuating circumstances such as abuse or neglect, that both parents have continuing substantive involvement in the child’s life. A large body of research in this area establishes that shared parenting arrangements result in lower risks of fear, aggression or depression, behavioral problems and risky behaviors. Vote 14-0. HB 1165, changing “incapacitated” to “vulnerable” in the adult protective services laws. OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT. Rep. Debra DeSimone for Children and Family Law. This bill and amendment simply changes the word “in- capacitated” to “vulnerable. It was the testimony heard from a multitude of departments and councils that this change would be a less disagreeable term to those who are “vulnerable.” Vote 13-0. HB 1237, establishing a committee to study the establishment of a default conflict management and resolu- tion system for parents and children. OUGHT TO PASS. 4 marCH 2016 HOUSE RECORD 3 Rep. Jeffrey Oligny for Children and Family Law. Despite many attempts by the court to help resolve family conflict over many years, the committee still hears many complaints about high conflict in family court. The majority believe enough evidence exists to support the bill and potential enhanced default systems which may better serve New Hampshire families. Vote 10-2. HB 1279, relative to grounds for termination of parental rights. OUGHT TO PASS. Rep. Skip Berrien for Children and Family Law. This bill terminates the parental rights of a parent convicted of murder or manslaughter of the other parent or the child’s sibling when the child was born after the par- ent’s conviction. Vote 11-0. COMMERCE AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS HB 1111, relative to securities advisory councils and committees. INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE. Rep. Harold French for Commerce and Consumer Affairs. After deliberations, the majority of the committee determined, that creating an entire new state entity under the Secretary of State was not the best nor most effective way to handle complaints of possible fraud in the sale of securities. Vote 19-0. HB 1150, relative to the penalty for failure to deliver goods under the Uniform Commercial Code. INEXPE- DIENT TO LEGISLATE. Rep. Valerie Fraser for Commerce and Consumer Affairs. This bill is an attempt to add a new section to RSA 382-A:1-311, creating a penalty of negligence with liability for damages equal to triple the value of the con- tract as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), if there is failure to deliver any part of the property included in a contract to any purchaser. The committee feels that there are many remedies available in law that address a breach of contract relative to goods purchased and the UCC is not the appropriate place to add this provision since the Consumer Protection Act already has triple damages. Vote 20-0. HB 1160-FN, relative to licensing spas and salons to serve alcoholic beverages. INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE. Rep. Rebecca McBeath for Commerce and Consumer Affairs. This bill establishes a license for spas and salons to serve alcoholic beverages. The committee was concerned about who should be included in the bill since many businesses, not just spas, might give away free alcohol to their customers. Defining and ultimately enforcing this license seems to be problematic so the committee decided to not pass this bill. Vote 17-0. HB 1169, prohibiting bank fees for on-line accounts. INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE. Rep. Valerie Fraser for Commerce and Consumer Affairs. This bill is an attempt to prohibit in-state banks from charging fees for an accessible on-line account. This bill is not necessary as most banks that provide on-line banking do not charge any transaction fees. Vote 20-0. HB 1194, relative to medical benefits under motor vehicle insurance. INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE. Rep. Edward Butler for Commerce and Consumer Affairs. The intent of this bill was to clarify the process for billing for ambulance services. However, this legislature looked at this issue a few years ago and made the necessary changes. The Insurance Department provided the necessary information and assistance to the constituent. Therefore this bill is not needed. Vote 19-0. HB 1195, relative to prepayment contracts for petroleum products. OUGHT TO PASS. Rep. John Hunt for Commerce and Consumer Affairs. Under a recently adopted law, oil and propane com- panies are barred from soliciting pre-pay contracts for the next heating season until after May of that year.

  • Governor Sununu, We, the Undersigned
    Governor Sununu, We, the undersigned Democrats in the New Hampshire House, implore you to immediately issue a “stay-at-home” order to slow the spread of COVID-19 in New Hampshire. As our hospitals and the mayors of our largest cities have noted, every day that passes without a stay- at-home directive brings exponential growth to the health risks faced by Granite Staters, and unsustainable pressure on New Hampshire’s healthcare services which will lead to unnecessary loss of life. As you have acknowledged, we likely remain far from the peak of COVID-19 infections in New Hampshire. Many of us own or work at small businesses and understand that ordering non-essential businesses to close is a drastic step that will exacerbate the disruption COVID-19 has already brought to everyday life. However, as we have seen in other countries and other states, taking decisive action will slow the spread of the virus, save lives and allow our economy to rebound stronger and faster. The steps we have taken so far, which include telling people to keep their social gatherings to under 10 people, are simply not enough. Monday’s announcement of the first death from COVID-19 in New Hampshire emphasizes the urgency in our communities to take decisive steps to combat this deadly virus. Closing non- essential businesses and ordering people to stay at home are bold steps critical to that effort. Please join the states across America, including our neighbors Massachusetts and Vermont, that have taken these critical steps to slow the spread of COVID-19.

At the state and national level, the Kochs use their unlimited resources to influence policy to suit their political and personal needs while hurting middle class and working families. The policies they favor include cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy; reducing and eliminating regulations to protect workers, consumers, and the environment; privatizing and cutting both Social Security and Medicare; and cutting other programs, including Pell Grants for college. For decades, the Kochs and their network of dark money political front groups have been pushing the Koch agenda in New Hampshire — perhaps more than any other state in the country — which has benefitted billionaires like the Kochs at the expense of Granite Staters. In 2016, New Hampshire will continue to be on center stage in American politics with the First In The Nation primary, a top- tier Senate race, marquee Congressional contests, an open governor’s mansion, and a number of hot button issues in the limelight. At the same time, the Koch network has promised to spend nearly $900 million to buy elections for candidates who will do their bidding for them. The Kochs themselves admit they “expect something in return” for the millions they spend propping up their candidates, but for candidates, backing from the Kochs comes with a high price tag.

  • Governor Maggie Hassan Office of the Governor State House 107 North Main Street Concord, NH 03301
    Governor Maggie Hassan Office of the Governor State House 107 North Main Street Concord, NH 03301 Your Excellency, It has come to our attention that members of the New Hampshire National Guard, of whom you are the Commander-in- Chief, are not allowed to carry firearms openly or concealed except under specific direction from yourself or the local commander. This fact appears to be due to current standing orders, regulations, or policies and denies to them the right of self-protection enjoyed by all citizens of New Hampshire. This right is embodied in Part 1, Article 2-a of the New Hampshire Constitution, which provides that “[a]ll persons have the right to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves, their families, their property, and the state.” Due to the multi -dimensional threat posed to our nation and our state by various terror groups, including radical Islamic Jihadists (as demonstrated most recently in the military reserve and recruiting stations assassinations in Chattanooga Tennessee), it is our firm opinion that it is imprudent to continue to refuse New Hampshire Guard personnel their right to arm themselves at their own discretion. The current policy of not allowing members to carry concealed or even openly is a supreme irony in that we come from a strong Second Amendment state that is both an "open-carry" and "shall-issue" pistol permit state for concealed carry. Furthermore, people who have volunteered to put their lives on the line in defense of our state and federal constitutions should have the means available to civilians to protect themselves and their comrades at all times.
