Americans for Prosperity Foundation-New Hampshire Is Pleased to Present Our 2014 Legislative Score Card 2014 KEY VOTE SCORECARD Dear New Hampshire Taxpayer: Americans For Prosperity Foundation-New Hampshire is pleased to present our 2014 Legislative Score Card. AFP Foundation hopes that this Score Card will aid you in your e!orts to remain well informed regarding some of the key legislative activity that took place in Concord over this past year. While 2014 was not a budget year, there were many issues that impact the long-term financial future of New Hampshire, such as expanding the state’s Medicaid program under the A!ordable Care Act, increasing the gas tax and e!orts to pass a Right to Work law. These are critical issues that will shape our state for years to come. Within this Score Card you will find these votes and many others that are essential to ensuring free markets, entrepreneurship and opportunity. We hope this helps you see a clear picture of how legislators performed in these important areas. In addition to information on how your state legislators voted on important pieces of legislation, you will find included in this Score Card their contact information. AFP Foundation hopes you will use it to reach out to your State Senator and State Representatives and engage them on the issues that impact you and your family and our state.

    Committee Report CONSENT CALENDAR February 27, 2018 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES REPORT OF COMMITTEE The Committee on Election Law to which was referred HB 1666, AN ACT relative to redistricting. Having considered the same, report the same with the following resolution: RESOLVED, that it is INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE. R p Michael Harrington FOR THE COMMITTEE Original: House Clerk Cc: Committee Bill File COMMITTEE REPORT Committee: Election Law Bill Numbdr: HB 1666 Title: relative to redistricting. Date: February 27 Consent Calendar: CONSENT Recommendation: INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE STATEMENT OF INTENT The bill would create a new metric for evaluating redistricting proposals based on a computer model that attempts to measure the "efficiency gap" in votes cast. There are many unresolved issues with this bill. It establishes a commission made up of only Democrats and Republicans and does not include the third party with ballot status in NH. There is also confusion over how the results of an election determined to have an efficiency gap exceeding the allowed limit are to be handled. Would the loser have solid grounds to challenge the results in court? This bill would completely change the way we redistrict and needs more work before it should be considered for passage. Vote 20-0. Rep. Michael Harrington FOR THE COMMITTEE Original: House Clerk Cc: Committee Bill File CONSENT CALENDAR Election Law HB 1666, relative to redistricting. INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE. Rep. Michael Harrington for Election Law. The bill would create a new metric for evaluating redistricting proposals based on a computer model that attempts to measure the "efficiency gap" in votes cast.

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.
