Friday, May 18, 2018 No. 20X Contains: House Deadlines; Bills Laid on Table; House Bills Amended by Senate; Revised Fiscal Notes; Governor’s Veto Message for HB 143; Committees of Conference Reports; Meetings and Notices HOUSE CALENDAR MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE: The next House session will be on Wednesday, May 23rd, at 10:00 a.m. If action on committee of conference reports is not completed on Wednesday, the House will also meet on Thursday, May 24th. Just as a reminder, you will see committee of conference statements for Senate Bills and House Bills, includ- ing those not signed off, in this calendar. We will take up the consent calendar Senate Bills, followed by the regular calendar Senate Bills. By that time, our House Bills should hopefully have arrived and we can proceed to take those up. The committee of conference “packets” containing all the copies of the signed off reports, along with whatever amendment there may be, will be in your seat pockets in the House. You can also view the reports individually on the committee of conference web page, accessible from the General Court landing page. As a reminder, a report cannot be amended. As noted in the back of this Calendar, the State House Bicentennial Commission will be hosting a briefing for the House and Senate on Tuesday, May 22nd, at 10:00 a.m. in Representatives Hall. I hope you will be able to attend this briefing by commission members to learn about upcoming Bicentennial events and the commission’s efforts to date. With several work projects planned for the State House this summer, and in keeping with past practice to reduce travel costs, there will be no legislative activity or mileage reimbursement between June 11th and August 27th, unless special circumstances arise and pre-authorization is granted. If you are a member of an ongoing statutory committee that meets regularly, mileage will be allowed for attending those meetings. On behalf of your constituents and the citizens of New Hampshire, I would like to thank all House members for your hard work this session. I would also like to extend a thank you for all of the work and effort put forth by the committee of conference conferees in completing the task in a timely fashion.

GOVERNOR’S VETO MESSAGE REGARDING HOUSE BILL 143 By the authority vested in me, pursuant to part II, Article 44 of the New Hampshire Constitution, on March 30th, 2018, I have vetoed House Bill 143, relative to recommittal of a prisoner by the Parole Board. Current law provides that when a prisoner who is out on parole has their parole revoked, that prisoner must be recommitted for at least 90 days. RSA 651-A:19, VII allows the Parole Board to impose a term of recommittal of less than 90 days under certain conditions, including situations where the Parole Board deter- mines that a lesser period of recommittal will aid in the rehabilitation of the parolee. House Bill 143 would expand these conditions by allowing the Parole Board to impose a recommittal period of less than 90 days for a prisoner who enters and successfully completes a residential substance abuse treatment program deemed acceptable by the Board. While based on good intentions, this bill will have concerning consequences. It does not distinguish be- tween individuals who have committed a crime related to substance abuse and those who have committed an unrelated crime. The bill also does not require the Parole Board to determine that a shorter recommittal period is necessary to assist a prisoner with their recovery efforts. I fully support efforts to reduce recidivism among those suffering from substance abuse disorders by ensuring that such individuals have access to treatment. However, current law already gives the Parole Board the option of imposing shorter recommittal periods if they determine it will aid in the parolee’s rehabilitation. Importantly, those who are incarcerated have access to many of the same treatment programs as those who are not. It is concerning that there is strong opposition to this bill by law enforcement and at the same time, there are members of the recovery community who still have questions about its impacts. This only reinforces the conclusion that more due diligence is needed before we change current law. For the reasons stated above, I have vetoed House Bill 143. Respectfully submitted, Christopher T. Sununu Governor Date: April 2, 2018 COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE STATEMENTS SENATE BILLS CONSENT CALENDAR SB 71, relative to the law governing alimony. This bill will bring structure and predictability to the alimony statute. There was concern that the new federal tax cuts would affect the bill as amended, after further review it was agreed that there will be no conflict. Rep. Kimberly Rice SB 343, relative to legislative ethics guidelines. The Senate members agreed to the House position on the definition of expense reimbursement. The House members agreed to a modified amendment for the acceptance of legal services addressing a complaint or petition if the attorney is not a registered lobbyist. Rep. Sherman Packard SB 379, (New Title) relative to retroactive denials of previously paid claims and relative to a second opinion on health care matters for state or county prisoners. The Senate refused to accept the House position on giv- ing the right for state and county prisoners to get a second opinion on their medical conditions. Evidently all of the county superintendents were opposed for a myriad of reasons including transportation and potential malpractice lawsuits for county physicians. The report removes this subject and all the conferees agreed to the underlying bill related to claw backs. Rep. John Hunt SB 415, (New Title) relative to condominium unit owners’ special meetings and voting proxies. After further review, the Senate decided they did like the amendment the House passed and therefore acceded to the House position. Rep. John Hunt SB 418, (Third New Title) relative to wine samples and samples for consumption on the premises of a bever- age manufacturer. The Senate agreed to the House version of the bill with one change; to move the effective date to upon passage. Rep. John Hunt SB 437, relative to the robotics education development program. This bill establishes eligibility criteria for grants to schools from the robotics education fund. The Senate acceded to the house version with the under- standing that grants made by the commission are a one-time single payment to the school district. Rep. Rick Ladd SB 459, relative to reciprocity for licensure as a real estate broker or salesperson. The Senate acceded to the House passed version of the bill. Rep. Peter Hansen 18 MAY 2018 HOUSE RECORD 7

SB 473, (New Title) relative to employment contract restrictions upon certain health care providers. After a brief discussion on why the House narrowed the focus of the bill to just nurses and podiatrists, and why podiatrists were not already included in the current law, the Senate agreed to the language adopted by the House amendment. Rep. John Hunt SB 487, (New Title) relative to requirements for certain alcohol and other drug use professionals and estab- lishing a state substance use disorder treatment services program. It became apparent after this bill passed both the House and Senate that the bill, contrary to last year’s trailer bill, gave the DHHS purview over the Sununu Youth Services Center’s substance abuse treatment program. An amendment was agreed upon that removed DHHS’s oversight of the SYSC’s drug treatment program from the bill. The remainder of the bill remains unchanged from the House version. Rep. Steven Beaudoin SB 491, (New Title) transferring responsibilities for produce safety from the department of health and hu- man services to the department of agriculture, markets and food. During the House’s amending process of the bill the repeal section was inadvertently removed. The conference version adds the repeal section back and if federal funds are eliminated, the program will sunset in 2021. Rep. John T. O’Connor SB 512, relative to compact sections of towns. This authorizes NHDOT to enter into agreements with towns for maintenance. Some municipalities were already listed in statute; the committee of conference added lan- guage to make it clear that this is not the complete list, and adds section numbers to clean up the formatting. Rep. Steven Smith SB 531-FN, relative to the office of professional licensure and certification. The Senate acceded to the House passed version of the bill. Rep. Peter Hansen SB 537, (New Title) conferring extraterritorial financing powers on the New Hampshire business finance authority. The conference report agreed to by the conferees contains a one word correction; otherwise the Senate accedes to the House position. Rep. John Hunt SB 540-FN, (Second New Title) relative to the operation of keno games in unincorporated places and permit- ting keno games in cigar bars. The senate accedes to the House version as amended. This bill provides that unincorporated places may permit the operation of keno games by a majority vote of the county delegation and permits the operation of keno games in cigar bars. The House version removes the section within the senate version modifying the definition of ADMA that would permit kindergarten programs only during fiscal years 2019 and 2020 to be supported by a combination of school expenses and private payments. Rep. Rick Ladd SB 541-FN-A, (Second New Title) relative to the presumption under workers’ compensation requiring the re- imbursement of costs associated with firefighters who have cancer. The House had rewritten this bill with an improved methodology for workers’ compensation claims for cancer submitted by fire fighters. The Senate acceded to the House position with the following changes: the original bill from the Senate established that a fire fighter had to have been an active fire fighter for a minimum of 10 years. The House changed that to five, but agreed to change that to 10 years. The Senate wanted to add a requirement that every fire department would establish a policy for correct use and care of equipment used in a fire and the House agreed to adding the policy statement. Rep. Lynne Ober SB 549-FN-A, (New Title) relative to plans of safe care for infants affected by substance abuse or withdrawal symptoms from prenatal drug exposure or fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. The compromise language adopted by the conferees retains all the language of the House version of the bill, except for a clause which would have required that healthcare providers report infants born with symptoms of prenatal exposure to drugs and alcohol only to the Division of Public Health. This clause would have conflicted with existing statutory reporting requirements, and the conferees agreed to remove it. Rep. Frank Kotowski REGULAR CALENDAR SB 84, (New Title) relative to payment of workers’ compensation benefits by direct deposit. The Senate conferees agreed to accept the House position of retaining the position of the original bill dealing with the direct deposit of workers’ compensation payments after six weeks from the date of disability. Sections 2 through 5 of the bill dealing with the use of “pay cards” to pay “employees” at the discretion of the “employer” were dropped. House bills dealing with related issues of labor law have been referred for interim study and the issue of employee payment of wages will likely be considered, in addition to other areas of labor law, for future legislation. Rep. Stephen Schmidt 8 18 MAY 2018 HOUSE RECORD

SB 119, (New Title) relative to the length of docks on a water body and boat slips. This bill was introduced in 2017 in response to docking difficulties caused by shallow waters in the drought of 2016. Review of lake levels shows this to be an annual occurrence, more or less. When a study committee looked at temporary seasonal docks (HB 195) it was determined that a comprehensive rewrite of all dock laws and rules should be undertaken. This was approved by the House and Senate in 2018 (HB 1810). In the meantime, the annual issues of low water late in the boating season remained and a simple solution was to allow the extension of temporary seasonal docks by ten (10) feet under a permit by notification (PBN) program. References to water depth and boat slip size were removed to eliminate questions of new dredging and creating hazards to navigation. Statements from the Department of Environmental Services (DES) confirmed that this change would not create any adverse environmental conditions. Language was added to bring boat lifts into the PBN program with the proviso that a lift would not create a new or additional boat slip. Both temporary seasonal docks and boat lifts must be removed from the lake bed for at least five months each year. Rep. Chris Christensen SB 318, (Second New Title) relative to posting and notification requirements for employers, establishing criteria for workplace inspections, and amending certain provisions of the youth employment law. The Sen- ate acceded to the House position on every point of contention, except one. The House conferees agreed to the Senate’s repeal of RSA 276-A:22, which states that the employment of any 16 or 17 year old outside the posted hours of labor is prima facie evidence of a violation of the labor statutes. The Senate conferees were concerned that a minor could stop by the place of employment outside of the posted hours to pick up a paycheck or retrieve a lost belonging or see a work acquaintance, and a Department of Labor inspector, could, under the law, take the presence of this minor as proof of a violation. Further, they stated that the Department of Labor is supportive of this repeal on the basis that the current law is so unclear they choose not to enforce the statute as written. Their argument was persuasive, and the House conferees to restore the Senate’s language repealing the statute. Rep. Keith Murphy SB 342, (Second New Title) requiring identification of specific items in the default budget. Since two bills dealt with SB2 default budget bills this year, each amended by the opposite body, the Senate asked for a com- mittee of conference to make sure there were no outstanding issues to be resolves. Hearing none, the Senate conferees agreed to pass the House amended version of the bill. Rep. Carolyn Matthews SB 370-FN, adopting the emergency medical services personnel licensure interstate compact. The Senate es- sentially agreed to the House version of the bill which allows New Hampshire to participate in an interstate compact for emergency medical service personnel (EMTs and paramedics). This bill will allow emergency medical service personnel to support events within the state if we lack the personnel internally, or if cross- border operation is required. Rep. Mark Proulx SB 438, relative to the postponement of local elections. Throughout the process there has been a call that there needed to be something done with regard to postponing local elections. The Senate passed a bill with bipartisan support to permit town officials to reschedule local elections with approval by the Secretary of State, while the House position was that local elections could be rescheduled by local officials. Both the Sen- ate and House conferees held firm in their position. The conferees agreed that the current law does not allow the postponement of local elections and reconvened in the unsuccessful hopes that a compromise could be reached. The House conferees believed it was unacceptable to leave this legislative term without providing some mechanism to reschedule or continue local elections. The Senate version has not received a vote in the House and therefore the conferees agreed, on a bipartisan basis, to compromise and accept the Senate ver- sion, thereby allowing the House and Senate the option of having something before them to vote on, rather than just walking away without any options. Rep. Greg Hill SB 506, limiting amendments to warrant articles. The Senate asked for a committee of conference to consider the House position on clarifying “intent” with regard to limiting amendments to warrant articles submitted by citizen petition. The conferees considered language requiring additional information from petitioners but set that language aside for future legislative consideration. The Senate conferees concurred with the House position on the bill. Rep. Carolyn Matthews SB 527-FN-L, (New Title) relative to absentee voting and relative to the statewide centralized voter registra- tion database. This bill establishes additional procedures for verification of absentee voters and their ballots. The House version clarified the procedures relating to the signature matching requirements of absentee ballots. The House version also added a provision to obtain absentee ballots the day before an election when the National Weather Service has issued a storm or blizzard weather warning that election day. Finally, the House version (added by floor amendment) included a provision clarifying that certain voter data is to be 18 MAY 2018 HOUSE RECORD 9 kept confidential. The bill itself was originally drafted in light of litigation concerning absentee ballots, and those provisions were adopted with the agreement of the ACLU, who represents the parties in related pending litigation. The Senate requested the conference and while acceding to the House changes, proposed a change to the House version that makes the provisions relating to vote data confidentiality effective immediately. While discussed, the impact of this effective date on any pending litigation, if any, is unknown. The conferees agreed to the effective date change to the House version. Rep. Barbara Griffin SB 535-FN, (Second New Title) relative to certain revenues from the sale of commemorative liquor bottles of historic significance. This bill credits revenue from the sales of commemorative liquor bottles until December 31, 2019 in the New Hampshire State House Bicentennial Education and Commemorative Fund. The original bill from the Senate defined “professional art therapy” and requirements to practice. The Senate and House conferees agreed to the House position with the additional section regarding art therapy and also include a penalty for violators of those practicing without art therapy education. Rep. Henry Marsh SB 556-FN, relative to changes in bail procedures and procedures for annulment of a criminal record. The conferees met on May 15th and agreed to accept the House version of the bill, with further amendment. The amendment deleted a reference to a class A misdemeanor in section 2 of the bill, and in section 6 added the reference of “one year” to indicate a time frame after the person has completed all there terms and conditions of the sentence before applying for an annulment of the individual’s criminal record. Language was added creating a commission on pretrial detention, pretrial schedule, and pretrial services to address issues raised by law enforcement and county attorneys, with a report of its findings due November 1, 2018. Rep. David Welch SB 564-FN-A, relative to a business tax exemption and a workforce development program for regenerative manufacturing businesses. The House Ways and Means committee adopted an amendment in order to: 1, allow any business organization that meets each of the requirements of RSA 77-A:1, paragraph XXX, at all times during the entire taxable year to become a “qualified regenerative manufacturing company;” 2, strengthen the requirements in paragraph XXX by ensuring the company must be at least 75% in the regenerative manufac- turing business and not just in auxiliary support; 3, require the regenerative manufacturing company to comply with the requirements of RSA 77-A:5c, III requiring filing a report each taxable period in accordance with such rules or forms as the commissioner may prescribe; 4, amend section 7 by adding the following language “and in particular for the development and preservation of a regenerative manufacturing workforce” in the declaration of need and purpose section; 5, remove subparagraph c from RSA 162-S:2, III, which removes the requirement that a person must be employed by the advanced regenerative manufacturing institute in order to participate in the regenerative manufacturing workforce development program; 6, add a new section requir- ing the Business Finance Authority report to the Fiscal Committee every six months relative to the status of program; and 7, add a new section to the Tax Expenditure Report that requires reporting the exemptions for qualified regenerative manufacturing companies allowed under RSA 77-A: 1, I and 77-E:1. Unfortunately, there was a clerical problem in amendments when passed by the House. The conferees restored the language that was intended to be passed by the House and as intended by House Ways and Means. Rep. Norman Major SB 580, (Second New Title) relative to transfers of appropriated funds, amending a capital budget appropriation to allow for door replacements at the New Hampshire hospital, and transferring a capital budget appropriation for painting the ceiling of Representatives Hall to the legislative branch. The Senate acceded to the House version of the bill with the following changes: 1) the Judicial Branch has been added to the general transfer language; 2) the language about funding the Sununu Center has been removed because it is being handled by a committee of conference on another bill, and; 3) a sunset date of June 30, 2019 has been added to RSA 9:17-A, III. Rep. Mark McConkey SB 589-FN, (New Title) relative to authorizing petitions to state licensing boards for review of an individual’s criminal record concerning disqualification for licensure. The Senate agreed with the House position, recogniz- ing the need for a clear process to evaluate criminal records. Most licensing boards already do this. Rep. Carol McGuire HOUSE BILLS CONSENT CALENDAR HB 252, relative to pro se litigants under the right-to-know law. The House acceded to the Senate version, and both agreed to modified language to clarify the procedures involved; the language made certain that both parties could object to proposed evidence and that the Court would resolve objections. All House and Senate conferees approved of the modified language. Rep. Dan Hynes 10 18 MAY 2018 HOUSE RECORD

HB 314, (Second New Title) establishing an automated and connected vehicle testing and deployment com- mission and establishing an automated vehicle pilot program. This is the autonomous vehicle testing package that the House passed unanimously. The Senate changed the bill to a commission. The committee of conference added the commission to the test package passed by the House so that both will be implemented. Rep. Steven Smith HB 549-FN, relative to beverage vendor fees. The report is a melding of the Senate and House positions on beer vendor fees. Although there may be a decrease in fee revenue to the Liquor Commission, everyone is confident that there will be many more new beer varieties in the state so the overall revenues will not be greatly affected. Rep. John Hunt HB 1102-FN, (Third New Title) enabling the department of health and human services to contract with cer- tain certified physicians and authorizing the department of corrections to establish additional expenditure class lines with fiscal committee and governor and council approval. The Senate withdrew its amendment to the bill and the conferees agreed to adopt the version as passed by the House. Rep. Frank Kotowski HB 1254, (Second New Title) establishing a committee to study the procedures for adoption of national codes by the state of New Hampshire; establishing a moratorium on the adoption of changes to the state building code and state fire code; and repealing the joint legislative oversight committee on the emergency manage- ment system. The original House bill was amended by the Senate to impose a moratorium on changes to the building code and the fire code until November 1, 2018 to allow the study committee to complete its work. The committee of conference compromise allows the code boards until July 1, 2018 in order to complete work on code changes that are in progress at which time the moratorium will take effect. Both code oversight boards felt this was ample time to enact changes that are in progress. Rep. Steven Beaudoin HB 1354, (New Title) relative to the speaker of the house of representatives and senate president as members of the university system board of trustees. The conferees recommend that the House recede from its position of non-concurrence and support HB 1354 as proposed by the committee of conference. The bill as amended would identify the Senate President, or designee from Senate leadership and the Speaker of the House, or designee from house leadership as voting members of the university system board of trustees rather than their participating as nonvoting members as currently established. The bill as amended takes effect upon passage and it will be repealed on June 30, 2019 if not extended by future legislation in the next session. Rep. Rick Ladd HB 1496, (New Title) relative to requirements for performance based accountability for an adequate education and relative to reporting requirements for the civics competency assessment. The conferees recommend that the House recede from its position of non-concurrence and concur with the Senate amended version with ad- ditional amendment. The bill as amended establishes that by June 30 of each year, each school district shall submit the results of either the locally developed competency assessment of the United States government and civics or the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) test to the department of education. Rep. Rick Ladd HB 1626-FN, (Second New Title) requiring the governor’s commission on alcohol and drug abuse prevention, treatment, and recovery to report on the cost effectiveness of funded programs, and relative to liquor commis- sion shortfalls. While the Senate agreed with the underlying bill, two amendments were added. The Senate acceded to the House position with the following changes: replace sections 5 and 6 with a plan for the Liquor Commission to reduce their expenses in FY19 by one percent of the revenue shortfall. Rep. Lynne Ober HB 1697-FN, (Second New Title) relative to organizations authorized to issue decals for multi-use decal plates. There were multiple bills adding charitable organizations to the multi-use decal plate program. This report collects them all in one place. Rep. Steven Smith HB 1761, (Second New Title) relative to the math learning communities program in secondary schools. The House conferees agreed to recede from the position of non-concurrence and concur with the Senate amended version amended as amended by the committee of conference. The committee amendment addresses a techni- cal issue by replacing “course I, senior math,” with “course I, advanced math foundations.” “Advanced math foundations,” is one of two courses taught within the math learning communities program in secondary schools. Rep. Terry Wolf HB 1766-FN, (New Title) requiring the department of environmental services to report to the general court regarding bedrock testing and perfluorochemical contamination in the Seacoast area and at other landfills and hazardous waste sites. The Senate amended this bill to require the department of environmental services to report to the General Court regarding bedrock testing and perfluorochemical contamination and at landfills and other hazardous waste sites, statewide as well as at specific sites in the seacoast area, including the Coakley 18 MAY 2018 HOUSE RECORD 11 landfill. In addition, the bill mandates reporting on the results of monitoring, testing or any other analysis, including perfluorooctanesulfanic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) along with the preliminary results from the bedrock testing conducted at the Coakley Landfill beginning in the summer of 2018 and an initial report to the General Court by December 1, 2018. The change offered by the House conferees removes the Resources, Recreation, and Development committee and replaces it with the Environment and Agriculture committee. The Senate conferees endorsed the changes and all conferees accepted the bill, as amended. Rep. John T. O’Connor REGULAR CALENDAR HB 169-FN, (New Title) relative to limits on wagers in charitable games of chance and licensing historic rac- ing. This bill was amended by the Senate to add the legalization of historical gaming machines to be utilized at charitable gaming licensed facilities. The underlying bill raised the bet limit at charitable gaming facilities from $4 to $10 which was the House position. The Senate amended version kept the House language but added the language on historic racing which was from SB 408 which the House voted to interim study. The Senate agreed to the House request to remove the historic racing provision in exchange for making the effective date of increasing the bet level of the underlying bill upon passage instead of 60 days after passage. All conferees agreed. Rep. Patrick Abrami HB 225-FN, (New Title) relative to information collection concerning electric renewable portfolio standards. The House sent the Senate a bill requiring many new reporting requirements concerning renewable energy certificates (RECs). Testimony before the Senate uncovered some unexpected obstacles to producing the re- quired information. The Senate scaled back the bill considerably to account for these difficulties. Conferees agreed to add a single sentence to paragraph IV of the bill as amended by the Senate. This new sentence requires the reporting of additional information about the number of RECs by class, and therefore achieves the goal of the House to make the renewable portfolio standard more transparent. Rep. Michael Vose HB 263, (New Title) relative to facilities licenses for charitable gaming and relative to security requirements for games of chance. The House accedes to the Senate position. The Senate language creates a procedural path for local and state agencies to request additional security requirements be applied to charitable gaming enterprises within their jurisdiction by the lottery commission. Additionally, it protects charitable gaming enterprises from onerous security requirements imposed by local and state agencies. Rep. Timothy Lang HB 317, (New Title) relative to changes in the system benefits charge. The Senate amended this bill to for- malize its language. House conferees requested a rewrite of the final sentence in the original two-sentence amendment made by the Senate. The rewritten sentence mirrors language in the budget trailer bill of 2017, and achieves the goal of the House of providing stronger legislative oversight of the system benefits charge without hindering the newest program designed to facilitate energy efficiency improvements. This new pro- gram became effective on January 1, 2018. Rep. Michael Vose HB 561-FN, (Second New Title) relative to part-time employment of a retirement system retiree by a par- ticipating employer. The committee of conference included elements of the House and Senate versions in the joint amendment. The reporting requirements were simplified at the request of the retirement system, and “grandfathering” was limited to positions occupied by January 1, 2019. The limit for retirees in new positions was set at 1352 hours per year, or 26 hours per week, which would ensure most retirees are not affected. All retirees must take off 28 or more days after retirement before beginning a part time job to prevent the appearance of a revolving door. Rep. Carol McGuire HB 1100, (New Title) establishing a commission to review and evaluate workforce and job training in New Hampshire and relative to veterans’ preference in public employment. The conferees met and discussed the two Senate amendments to the bill. The amendment dealing with veterans’ preference in employment was deleted in favor of the interim study recommendation proposed by the Commerce Committee and adopted by the House. The second amendment dealing with the composition of the commission to review and evalu- ate workforce and job training in New Hampshire was reviewed and the conferees agreed to reinstate the Commissioner of the Department of Health and Human Services and add the Chancellor of the University System to the commission. The conferees also agreed to remove the Lodge and Restaurant Association from the commission’s membership. Lastly, the quorum requirement of the commission was reduced from 8 to 7. Rep. Stephen Schmidt HB 1286, (New Title) relative to fishing and hunting licenses for permanently disabled veterans. The con- ferees sought to find common ground between the House and Senate versions of the bill. As amended by the Senate, the bill would have applied to all veterans, not just those disabled in wartime or police action. It also had no cost associated with the issuance of a lifetime license. As passed by the House, it would have applied 12 18 MAY 2018 HOUSE RECORD to veterans injured in the line of duty and would have reduced the cost by 50% to the veteran. The conferees had concerns that veterans may have been injured during training or in some other action related to their service that would not have been covered by the House version. Additionally, there were concerns that the cost not addressed in the Senate version would wipe out the trust fund where monies are collected and deposited. The conferees agreed to a compromise that allows any New Hampshire resident that has an 80% to 99% ser- vice related disability to apply for a lifetime license for 50% less than what is charged currently for licenses. Rep. James Webb HB 1356, (Second New Title) relative to data sharing between the department of environmental services and the department of health and human services; making an appropriation to the department of business and economic affairs for relocation costs; and relative to the exemption for recreational vehicles from property taxa- tion. As it left the House, this bill provided for the sharing of data between the Department of Environmental Services and the Department of Health and Human Services. The Senate agreed, but added two amendments. The first provided a $75,000 appropriation for the relocation of the Department of Business and Economic Affairs since the lease on its present premises expires in September, 2018. The House further amended the section to make clear that the Department of Administrative Services, generally in charge of state facilities, signs any new lease. The second Senate amendment clarified existing law that campground owners are not responsible for the collecting of property taxes that might be levies on recreational vehicles. Rep. John Sytek HB 1377, (Second New Title) establishing a committee to study the emancipation of minors. The Senate ver- sion of HB 1775 kept the committee to study emancipation, but removed the limitations regarding healthcare and consumer contracts. The committee of conference felt it was important to retain the provision that the certificate of marriage shall provide evidence of the minor’s emancipation. Rep. Kimberly Rice HB 1415-FN-A, (New Title) making an appropriation to the public school infrastructure fund to improve security in public schools. The conferees agreed to merge the House and Senate versions of the bill together. The bill will now establish a line of duty death benefit for school employees which will help protect the families of the employ- ees whose job it is to protect the children. It will also provide $10 million in appropriations to the public school emergency readiness program. Hopefully with this funding the line of duty death benefit will never have to be paid. Rep. Mark Proulx HB 1501-FN, relative to regulation of consultants for games of bingo and lucky 7. The Senate version modified the definition of gaming consultant by adding the following language to the end of RSA 287-E:1, paragraph VI-b “and who handles, manages, oversees, or disburses any of the funds derived from the operation of the charitable games.” The House conferees agreed with this language. Rep. Norman Major HB 1550, requiring electric bills to include the cost of compliance with renewable energy standards. The Senate amendment changed the renewable portfolio standard (RPS) cost information to be included on cus- tomer electric bills from a yearly figure to a per-kilowatt-hour (/kW) number. That change would require a customer to multiply this /kW number by her/his cumulative yearly kW usage to determine the amount of dollars actually spent to support the RPS. The Senate preferred the /kW number because it allowed a cus- tomer to more accurately determine the amount each individual customer spent, whereas the House version provided an estimated dollar amount based on an “average” customer usage of 650kW. The House acceded to the Senate language on the condition that the /kW number used reflected the most recent compliance year cost, not a 10-year running average. The compromise version adds the new phrase, “for the prior compliance year.” This compromise achieves the goal of the House to provide customers with information about the cost of the RPS, and ensures that electricity customers will see information on their December bills that reflects their expenditures to support renewable energy. Rep. Michael Vose HB 1562-FN, (Second New Title) relative to collaboration between the department of health and human services and foster parents and relative to the disposition of interests in condominium units. The conferees agreed to changes made by the Senate, but felt some additional clarification needed to be made with respect to information being shared with foster parents. We wanted to be sure the information being shared was strictly related to the children. The Senate version of the bill also dealt with an ongoing timeshare issue, whereby timeshare owners attempt to get out of their financial obligations by deeding the timeshare ownership to the owners association without knowledge or consent. The conferees felt the issue was important enough to be addressed at this time. Rep. Kimberly Rice HB 1565-FN, (Second New Title) requiring the secure psychiatric unit to be accredited as a behavioral health facility. The Senate version of this bill specified that the accreditation be from the National Commission on Correctional Health Care, as a behavioral health facility. The House had not specified the agency to accredit the SPU as a psychiatric hospital, and the Senate accreditation was one of the possible choices. All conferees agreed that the accreditation is a step forward to ensure oversight of the facility and that the treatment pro- 18 MAY 2018 HOUSE RECORD 13 vided there is appropriate for the patients. The Senate refused to consider alternate accreditations, and the House conceded this position. The Senate agreed to add the finding of the House version, which established our concerns about commingling civil and criminal patients and the limited options in the state for treating individuals with severe mental illness. Rep. Carol McGuire HB 1614, (New Title) relative to the international registration plan and relative to registration of semi-trailers. This bill originally updated our policy on the international registration plan to allow the department of safety to implement the program through rules. The benefit is that if there are changes made by the federal govern- ment when we are not in session, our truckers are not in a bind and potentially subject to extra paperwork and fees. The Senate amendment added the trailer registration bill. This bill passed the House twice. The pending motion of ITL from Finance was a result of needing money to implement the new program when the budget is closed. This has been dealt with by making the effective date of the program July 1, 2019 so that it can be discussed in the next budget cycle. Rep. Steven Smith HB 1743-FN, (Second New Title) relative to funding for the Sununu youth services center and relative to positions at the department of health and human services. The original position of the House on HB1743 was that any additional funds needed to operate the Sununu Youth Services Center (SYSC) would be considered by the Joint Fiscal Committee in emergency situations only. The House believed that the funds set forth in the 2018/2019 budget and agreed upon by both the House and the Senate were enough to operate SYSC in a safe and appropriate manner for the biennium. In addition to the $12.2M budgeted for FY 2018 and the $7.2M for FY 2019, both legislative bodies approved an additional $8.7M to fund provider rate increases and create additional capacity of no fewer than 35 beds for community placements of children who have not committed a violent crime thus removing additional youth from SYSC. Changes made to the placement guidelines for children have resulted in a drop of approximately 40% in the average daily census at SYSC and, as a result, community placements have increased significantly. During this biennium, Finance Division III has received information from DHHS on the staffing levels at the SYSC which is at a level of 151. While placements and the average daily census continue to drop at SYSC, the staffing level has not decreased. As a result, the bud- geted amount for FY 2019, which begins on July 1, 2018, will not be adequate to cover the current costs to operate the SYSC. The Senate had amended HB1743 to include an additional appropriation of $3.6M to the FY 2019 budget at SYSC for this purpose. In the Committee of Conference, the House did not agree to an ad- ditional appropriation of $3.6M on July 1, 2018 without benchmarks being met by DHHS. In the Committee of Conference’s report, the additional appropriation to SYSC on July 1, 2018 is $900K. This is an annualized budget of $10.8M for SYSC in Q1 of 2019. If, at the beginning of Q2 2019, DHHS believes it needs addition funds for the operations of SYSC, it can request no more than $900K and the Joint Fiscal Committee must approve this request. Prior to approval of any additional funds, the Joint Fiscal Committee must consider whether the department met the appropriate criteria listed in HB517 (the biennial budget trailer bill) and reiterated in the Committee’s report. No earlier than January 1, 2019, DHHS may again request additional funding of no more than $1.8M for the remainder of the biennium and the approval of this funding must fol- low the above mentioned process. As a requirement of the report, the commissioner of DHHS shall provide a monthly report to the Joint Fiscal Committee of the average daily census and the estimated monthly cost per resident at SYSC, including those funds used from accounting units not directly associated with the SYSC. Finally, the House and Senate also agreed to include in the report the creation of a five House member and three Senate member study committee to study alternatives to the continued use of the SYSC. Rep. Frank Byron HB 1753-FN, (New Title) relative to transportation of alcoholic beverages by a minor. The conferees met on May 16 and agreed to accept the Senate version of the bill which deleted the references to a sibling of 25 years of age in section 1, and further amended the bill by adding the term “step grandparent” to those who are allowed to accompany the underage driver of the motor vehicle or boat with alcohol present. Rep. David Welch HB 1775, (New Title) relative to the appointment of guardians ad litem in parenting cases and relative to alcohol and drug free housing. The Senate version made minor changes to the underlying bill, by adding the educational needs of the child to guidelines for guardians ad litem and amended the funding aspect, as there is no state fund for GAL fees. The Senate also added an amendment pertaining to voluntary registration for operators of alcohol and drug free housing. The conferees felt there was immediate need, so the language was adjusted to allow time for rules to be adopted. This has become an increasingly important issue in many communities. There have been many complaints regarding sober living facilities that are not actually safe, sober living facilities. This will give clients an option of knowing that a sober living facility is under the watch and rules of the Department of Health and Human Services, but does not prohibit sober living facilities if they do not register with the state. Rep. Kimberly Rice 14 18 MAY 2018 HOUSE RECORD

HB 1817-FN, (Eighth New Title) establishing the position of state demographer and a commission on demo- graphic trends; requiring state agencies to prepare 10-year current services cost projections; relative to the inclusion of a demographic analysis as part of the legislative fiscal note process; relative to salary increases for state employees and making appropriations therefor; making an appropriation for red list bridge projects; making an appropriation to the revenue stabilization account; relative to disproportionate share hospital payments and making an appropriation therefor, and relative to the uncompensated care and Medicaid fund. The House and Senate conferees agreed to HB 1817, with the proposed report. The bill includes the demog- rapher’s position in the Office of Strategic Initiatives. It requires 10 year current services cost projections which will be included when the budget is provided to the House. It allows for s a demographic impact note on legislation. A commission is established to develop long-term net migration goals, review and recommend programs designed to meet these goals. The salary increased as a result of the collective bargaining agree- ment and salary increases for non-union workers, as well as the executive councilors, Department of Justice, Judicial salaries. The total cost for FY19 is $27,023,000. The effect on the General Fund is $12,743,000. The remaining cost came from the Liquor fund, Highway fund, Turnpike fund, Fish and Game, Federal programs and others. The Department of Transportation is allocated $20 million for state red listed bridges and the dollars will be non-lapsing. Ten million dollars will be transferred to the Revenue Stabilization account for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018. An additional $10.4 million will be allocated in FY19 to the State Building Aid Bridge program. The Community Development Finance Authority is provided one million dollars for the purpose of supporting recovery programs offered by non-profit programs to enable persons in addiction and mental health recovery re-enter the workforce. School districts or charter schools may collect from a private party for that portion of a kindergarten pupil’s education which is not covered by the school district. This program is only available for FY19. The House and Senate agreed to a $2.5 million appropriation to the Hous- ing Finance Authority (HFA) Revolving Loan Fund to increase transitional housing for individuals leaving inpatient mental health or substance abuse treatment programs. The HFA shall develop a plan to utilize the FY19 funds, in conjunction with the commissioner of the Department of Health and Human Services, and bring it to the September Fiscal Committee meeting. The increased housing supported by these funds will help open up beds at New Hampshire Hospital for the dozens of people waiting in emergency departments across the state. An additional $300,000 is allocated to the State Loan Repayment program which will assist medical personnel with student loans and encourage medical personnel to remain in the state for a three year commitment. The state and the hospitals have come to a settlement agreement over disproportionate share hospital payments. These payments provide money to the hospitals for uncompensated care. The settlement agreement covers a seven year period, through FY 2024. The state’s payment in FY18 is $22.1 million, and in FY19 the payment is $22.5 million. These payments are contingent upon obtaining any approvals required from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid services. Rep. Karen Umberger HB 2018, (Second New Title) relative to the state 10-year transportation improvement program and estab- lishing a committee to study the removal of the Merrimack tolls. The House conferees concurred with the Senate version of the bill with some additional changes developed in the committee of conference. 1) The construction funding for the Bedford-Merrimack project (number 16100) was moved from 2019 to 2020. 2) The Department of Transportation is authorized to plan, engineer, and construct a highway in Hudson, solely with town funds, and this authority remains in effect until June 30, 2022. 3) A committee is established to study the removal of tolls on exits 10 and 11 off the F.E. Everett Turnpike in Merrimack and the financial implications of such removal. The committee will further study the location of the Bedford mainline toll plaza and the status of Continental Boulevard in the town of Merrimack. 4) A committee is established to study driveway permitting under RSA 236:13. 5) Removes the project named Nashua-Manchester-Concord (number 40818). Rep. Mark McConkey COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE REPORTS NOT SIGNED OFF SENATE BILLS SB 354, (New Title) relative to disclosure of information relative to lower cost drugs under the managed care law. The contents of SB 354 were addressed and passed in HB 1791. Thus the conferees decided to let this bill die. Rep. John Hunt SB 393, (New Title) relative to county financial audits, performance audits, and forensic audits. This bill at- tempted to consolidate the three types of audits utilized by county government into a single chapter within title II of the RSAs. Several changes to existing law would also have been amended. The Senate and House conferees failed to reach agreement on the language. Rep. Frank McCarthy 18 MAY 2018 HOUSE RECORD 15

SB 411-FN-A, relative to the research and development tax credit. The Senate would not agree to any reduc- tion in the research and development tax credit, which is currently $7 million. The House position, established in both HB 1554 and SB 411, was to reduce the credit to $2 million, with the proceeds intended to lower the interest and dividends tax. Consequently, the Senate and House conferees could not reach agreement. Rep. Bill Ohm SB 569-FN, (Second New Title) relative to animal cruelty and establishing a commission to study cost of care for confiscated animals. The House amended version of SB 569 passed the House with a two to one favor- able vote. The Environment and Agriculture committee spent many hours strengthening the Senate version and looking out for the welfare of animals and protecting citizens’ rights. Despite media reports, the House conferees from the start agreed to compromise on the issue of anonymous reporting, animal hoarding, and a few other points that were not even addressed. Key non-negotiable items for the House were in the areas of increased funding and personnel. The House committee, after meeting with the commissioner and reviewing the recent LBA financial review of the Department of Agriculture, Markets and Food, was now to allow the newly hired commissioner to do a complete review of the department’s animal division and present a case for the next biennial budget, rather than a haphazard approach of putting limited funding at the end of the current biennium. An additional area of concern was in RSA 437:7, exceptions, as it relates to hobby breed- ers, that would subject them to being classified as a commercial kennel. The House and Senate were unable to reach a compromise and the Senate was diametrically opposed to the House amended version, and after three meetings exhausted the avenues for compromise. The House and Senate conferees agreed that our dif- ferences could not be resolved at this time. Rep. John T. O’Connor HOUSE BILLS HB 372, relative to construction of the terms “resident,” “inhabitant,” “residence,” and “residency.” The original bill clarified the terms by removing the phrase “for the indefinite future” from the current statute. The Senate amendment provided a purpose statement for the bill and further clarified the definition. It also provided for a severability clause to be added to another election statute which is consistent with the intent of the original bill. House conferees agreed the language changes were consistent with the intent of the bill and House votes, but found that the purpose statement was not needed. The Senate did not agree to remove the purpose statement and agreement was not reached on the bill. Rep. Barbara Griffin HB 1273, (Second New Title) relative to licensure of health care professionals employed at the Manchester Veterans Affairs Medical Center. We agree that this bill was no longer needed because SB 488 did not have a temporary biennium ending date of June 30, 2019. By ensuring there is not an end date, the VA Hospital in Manchester can continue with their pilot program – using operating rooms at private hospitals through contractual agreements. This will ensure that many veterans will be taken care of in New Hampshire, versus driving to Boston for their operations. Rep. Alfred Baldasaro HB 1428-FN, (New Title) relative to roadside memorials. This bill was a request by the Department of Trans- portation seeking legislative guidance for the treatment of roadside memorials placed in the right of way in state primary and secondary highways. The Senate amendment set aside the House language regarding the removal of roadside memorials with language prohibiting roadside memorials from containing lighting or reflective tape. The House conferees were unable to reach agreement with the Senate in this matter. Rep. Mark McConkey HB 1637, requiring school districts to establish policies relating to suspensions and expulsions. Although the House overwhelmingly passed the amendment relative to requiring school districts to establish a policy on school discipline that contains the specific basis for in-school suspensions, short term out-of-school suspen- sions, long term out-of-school suspensions and expulsions, the Senate amended version of the bill requiring school district policy to separately include and describe the criteria for imposition of each level of discipline with reference to factors such as disruption of school activities, risk of property damage, actual or threatened bodily injury, or other factors determined relevant by the school district is unacceptable to conferees as a specific laundry list of criteria and associating such criteria with specific discipline consequences eliminates consideration of variables such as age, intent, instructor or administrator understandings of the situation/ circumstances, and other factors that may lead to or contribute to the need for discipline.
