Friday, January 2, 2015 No. 5X Contains: House Deadlines, Amendment to House Rules, Unsigned Sponsor List, Meetings, Seating and Notices HOUSE CALENDAR MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE: As required by the New Hampshire Constitution, the House will meet for the convening of the 2015 session on Wednesday, January 7th, at 10:00 a.m. We will then meet in Joint Session with the Senate to hear the report of vote totals for Governor and Executive Council from the Secretary of State. On Thursday, January 8th, the House will assemble at 10:30 a.m. to meet jointly with the Senate for the inauguration of the Governor. Due to the number of invited guests and dignitaries expected to attend, many of you seated in the front of the Hall will be displaced from your seats. If you think your seat may not be available to you and you wish alternative seating, please call the Sergeant-at-Arms’ Office at 271-3315. Every effort will be made to accommodate you. If you are NOT planning to attend the House session on Thursday January 8th for the Inauguration, please inform the Clerk’s Office at 271-2548 so we can note your absence and your seat can be used for the purposes of seating guests of the Governor. If time allows at the conclusion of business on the 7th or 8th, I would encourage committee chairmen who have not already made organizational plans to get together with their committees for a brief organizational meeting. There are over 300 LSRs ready to be signed off in the Office of Legislative Services. If you are spon- soring legislation, please make every effort to sign off by calling their office at 271-3435, sending an e-mail to [email protected], or by appearing in person in Room 109 of the State House. Please remember to give the OLS staff your LSR number. The deadline is Friday, January 9th, but acting sooner will accelerate the process of having your legislation assigned to a committee and scheduled for a hearing. I am pleased to announce that Reverend Kate Atkinson, Rector of St. Paul’s Church in Concord, has agreed to be our House Chaplain. I also invite members to urge their local clergy to consider offering prayer for the House on session days as well. Please contact the House Clerk who will assist you in arranging guest chap- lain visits. Additionally, if you have constituents or groups of students who are interested in performing the National Anthem, please inform the House Clerk. Please keep in mind that in order to keep travel expenses down I am asking you to limit your trips to Con- cord by doing constituent and other legislative work on the days you are scheduled to be here for committee meetings and House sessions. Reimbursement for travel to Concord on Mondays and Fridays will only be allowed if you are a member of a statutory committee that meets on those days or if you have received prior approval from the Speaker’s Office. I look forward to seeing you all next week as we begin our work for the 2015 session. Best wishes to all leg- islators and staff for a happy, healthy, and productive New Year! Shawn N.

  • 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.

  • The Koch's Criminal Justice Hypocrisy in New Hampshire

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.

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.
