House Calendar. House Members Can Expect an Email with Any Further Details Early Next Week HOUSE RECORD First Year of the 167th General Court Calendar and Journal of the 2021 Session State of New Hampshire Web Site Address: www.gencourt.state.nh.us Vol. 43 Concord, N.H. Friday, April 2, 2021 No. 18X Contains: House Deadlines; House Bills Amended by Senate; Committee Reports; Meetings and Notices; Revised Fiscal Notes HOUSE CALENDAR MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE: The House will meet in session on Wednesday, April 7th at 9:00 a.m., Thursday, April 8th, at 9:00 a.m., and Friday, April 9th at 9:00 a.m. in the NH Sportsplex facility at 68 Technology Dr. in Bedford, NH. Session day logistics, including arrival times, parking, entry, materials and lunch distribution will be similar to the previous event, and where necessary, updates and modifications have been made. Those details appear in the back of this House Calendar. House members can expect an email with any further details early next week. I have discussed with the Democratic and Republican Leaders our need to work together to manage our time wisely during the House session days. While there may be disagreement on many issues, we all agree that we can complete our business in a timely manner if we work together with mutual respect and understanding. The House Finance committee will offer a budget briefing for House members on Monday April 5th at 1:00 p.m. via Zoom webinar. As in prior budget years, members of the public may watch a livestream via YouTube. A link to the YouTube stream is published in a notice in this House Calendar. House members will receive a link to the webinar by email so they may raise their hand and ask questions of the Finance Committee and Legislative Budget Assistant, if desired. The amendment to House Bill 1 adopted by the majority of the House Finance Committee is one that replaces the entire bill and is over 700 pages long. Rather than print 400 copies of that amendment for next week, the Legislative Budget Assistant’s Office has posted a link to that amendment here: http://www.gencourt.state. nh.us/LBA/Budget/Capital_Budget_House/Week%20of%203-29/HB_1_H_Finance_COMBINED_33021.pdf All other amendments to bills will be printed in two addendum calendars. Additionally, if you are interested in the other documents used throughout the entire House budget process, the LBA has a webpage with those available to you found here:http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/LBA/Budget/ fy2022_2023_budget.aspx The New Hampshire Automobile Dealers Association will be sponsoring one of our session day’s lunches next week at session. Typically the NHADA hosts an annual Crossover reception for all legislators and staff, however in this unusual time, we have not been able to attend the usual social events that may exist for legislators. These receptions go a long way in terms of allowing members across the whole chamber to social- ize and get to know their colleagues, and I know I speak for myself when I say this has been missed. We are thankful to the NHADA for sponsoring this lunch. I am happy to announce that captioning for House sessions is now available. The link to access captions is a separate link from the session streaming link and will be available on the General Court website before the start of each session. Sherman A. Packard, Speaker of the House NOTICE The Finance Committee will hold budget briefings on HB 1-A, making appropriations for the ex- penses of certain departments of the state for fiscal years ending June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2023, and HB 2-FN-A-L, relative to state fees, funds, revenues, and expenditures on April 5th at 1:00 pm. House members will receive secure Zoom links. Members of the public may attend using the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvMW6Lf-ltw. Rep.

(Pending Question: Ought to Pass) HB 188-FN -relative to appointment of counsel in juvenile court proceedings. (Pending Question: Ought to Pass with Amendment) HB 586-FN-A-L - relative to training and procedures for zoning and planning boards and relative to financial investments and incentives for affordable housing development. (Pending Question: Ought to Pass) HR 11 - affirming revenue estimates for fiscal years 2021, 2022, and 2023. (No Pending Question) WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7 CONSENT CALENDAR CHILDREN AND FAMILY LAW HB 68, relative to the definition of child abuse. INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE. Rep. Cody Belanger for Children and Family Law. The committee believes this bill would punish parents for following the recommendation of their child’s doctor. It is the understanding of the committee that this is a parent’s rights issue. Vote 15-0. 2 APRIL 2021 HOUSE RECORD 3 HB 120, relative to administration of psychotropic medications to children in foster care. OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT. Rep. Josh Yokela for Children and Family Law. The majority believes this bill as amended will better protect NH children from the inappropriate use of psychotropic drugs and decrease the amount of money NH Medicaid spends on psychotropic drugs. This bill was filed in response to the United States Inspector General’s Sept 2018 report “Treatment Planning and Medication Monitoring were Lacking for Children in Foster Care Receiving Psychotropic Medication.” The Inspector General found that 23.4% of NH children in foster care receiving psychotropic medica- tions had no treatment plan while 37.9% had a treatment plan, but no diagnosis on their treatment plan. It was also found that 21.8% of these children did not receive medication monitoring by a prescribing professional. The amendment addresses specific concerns brought forward by the NH Psychiatric Society. Vote 15-0. HB 317-FN, relative to the treatment of veterans’ disability benefits for purposes of determining child sup- port. INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE. Rep. John Lewicke for Children and Family Law. This bill would make disabled veterans a special class to be treated differently from all others in New Hampshire. Disability benefits are for the veteran and their fami- lies, although the federal government may be less generous than it should to veterans who become disabled in the service of their country. It is not the responsibility of the taxpayers of the state of New Hampshire to make up for those shortcomings. Vote 15-0. HB 541, relative to the priority of child support payments over other court costs and expenses. INEXPEDI- ENT TO LEGISLATE. Rep. John Lewicke for Children and Family Law. Neither the legislature nor the courts can impute income to someone when a transaction has been between parties who are not involved in a support agreement. If a third party chooses to pay a lawyer, that transaction is between the third party and the lawyer. Since the funds never passed through the hands of the person named in a support agreement, they can’t be imputed to be income of that person. Vote 15-0. HB 547, relative to the opportunity for evidentiary hearings in parenting cases. INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE. Rep. Cody Belanger for Children and Family Law. It is the opinion of the committee that the context of this bill already happens in court proceedings and that the judicial system already provides a check and balance for families through petition. Vote 15-0. HB 548, relative to the role of a guardian ad litem in cases where domestic violence is suspected or alleged. INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE. Rep. Cody Belanger for Children and Family Law. It is the opinion of the committee that during a family court hearing when there is a Guardian ad litem (GAL) appointed, the GAL is supposed to be a neutral third party serving in the best interest of the child.

  • 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.

  • From State Representative Rosemarie Rung
    Town Councilors: I am unable to attend the November 7 meeting, but I want to provide an update, as the bills that I will be sponsoring or co-sponsoring have been signed off and will soon be assigned to a committee to begin the legislative process. I want you to know why I support these bills. Title: requiring food service establishments to establish food allergy awareness procedures. Sponsors: (Prime) Rosemarie Rung, Janice Schmidt, Dan Feltes, Joseph Guthrie, William Marsh, Cam Kenney This bill came at the request of a Merrimack constituent whose family member died from an allergic reaction from food served at a NH restaurant. I worked on this after consultation with the NH Restaurant and Lodging Association and the NH HHS department. It essentially extends new NH food safety food code to restaurants that are not under the state’s authority (i.e., cities that have jurisdiction for restaurant licensing/inspection), will require restaurants to include menu language to instruct patrons to notify the server of any food allergy (required language now warns of raw or undercooked meat), and will allow restaurants to voluntarily be designated “food allergy friendly” if they meet national standards. Title: Establishing a committee to study the labeling of products containing PFAS. Sponsors: (Prime) Rosemarie Rung, Betty Gay, Deborah Hobson Following conversations with Eileen and Sarita about PFAS waste entering the treatment plant from car washes, I talked with Clark Freise about how to control PFAS discharge to municipal systems. He said most users don’t even know PFAS is in the materials they use.

  • The Koch's Criminal Justice Hypocrisy in New Hampshire
    CCWWTT::^^RRWW11aa^^ccWWTTaabb´´ 666AAA000===888CCC444 BBBCCC000CCC444 ???AAA>>>999444222CCC 77^^ffccWWTTAAPPSSXXRRPP[[00VVTT]]SSPP^^UU >dc^UBcPcT1XV>X[1X[[X^]PXaTb 77PPbb77ddaacc==TTff77PP\\__bbWWXXaaTT 1 Charles and David Koch pour hundreds of millions of dollars into our political system to advance their self-enriching agenda and elect their puppet candidates. 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.

AFP-NH hopes that this Scorecard will aid you in your efforts to remain well informed regarding some of the key legislative activity that took place in Concord over this past year and its impact in lowering or increasing barriers to success and enhancing a free and open society. This year certainly saw a change in how the Legislature did business, in response to the pandemic. This led to fewer roll calls than in years past, especially in the State Senate. AFP-NH does not score every vote in the House or Senate. Rather, the focus of this Scorecard is to consider the most important votes cast in priority issue ares that impact our society, such as taxes and spending, health care, educational opportunity, worker freedom, regulation, free speech, property rights, ending cronyism, and having a criminal justice system that focuses on rehabilitation. This year, the Legislature had the opportunity to vote on important issues in these areas, which are laid out in the vote descriptions. Within this Scorecard you will find these votes that are essential to removing barriers to opportunity.
