HOUSE RECORD Second Year of the 165th General Court Calendar and Journal of the 2018 Session State of New Hampshire Web Site Address: www.gencourt.state.nh.us Vol. 40 Concord, N.H. Thursday, September 13, 2018 No. 20X HOUSE JOURNAL NO. 19 (Cont’d) Wednesday, May 23, 2018 Rep. Hinch moved that the House adjourn. Motion adopted.

Prayer was offered by House Chaplain, Reverend Kate Atkinson, Rector of St. Paul’s Church in Concord. We gather here today knowing that new colleagues will soon be among us and others no longer with us. Give us the grace to forge new connections, to listen for Your voice in one another’s words, and to discern Your will as we seek to achieve the common good. We gather here today bearing the weight of responsibility, the burden that accompanies our elected office. Help us to see that when a burden is shared its weight decreases, that You created us to live and function in community, and that Your hand is at work most powerfully when many hands work together. We gather here today to make important decision that affect the lives of the people of New Hampshire. Speak to our hearts and minds as we consider these matters, give us wisdom and insight, and inspire us to act in the best interests of the people we represent. Eternal and unchanging God, give us ears to hear You speak to us today. Amen. Representative Jason Janvrin, member from Seabrook, led the Pledge of Allegiance.

WHEREAS, we have learned with profound sorrow of the death of our friend and colleague Robert M. Walsh, Jr., who was serving his fourth term as a State Representative representing the citizens of Hillsborough County District 11, Ward 4 of the city of Manchester; and WHEREAS, Robert Walsh was a Certified Public Accountant who worked as a skilled practitioner of his trade for 47 years, including service as President of the New Hampshire Society of Certified Public Accountants; and WHEREAS, a member of the Finance Committee his last three terms in the House, he earned a reputation of being a quiet, yet thoughtful member of the committee where his Chairman praised him for asking good and hard questions with a smile-something rare for a CPA-and his pleasant working demeanor and respect for his fellow members; and WHEREAS, a man of faith and devotion, Bob was an active member of his church, serving as a longtime lector and member of the choir, and for 12 years as a director, and one year as president of the Cathedral Parish Credit Union; and WHEREAS, above all, Bob Walsh considered himself a family man first; a kind hearted and smiling guy who would stop you in the hall to ask about your children or grandchildren and tell you about his; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, by the House of Representatives in Regular Session convened, Robert M. Walsh, Jr. be granted the highest praise and accolades and our profound thanks for his service to his country, the state, and the city he called home for many years, and, be it further RESOLVED, that expressions of our most heartfelt sympathy be extended to his family and that a suitable copy of this Resolution be prepared for presentation to them. Offered and adopted unanimously by the House of Representatives. MOMENT OF SILENCE A moment of silence was observed in honor and in memory of the Representative from Manchester, the Honorable Robert M. Walsh, Jr. GOVERNOR’S VETO MESSAGE ON HB 143 April 2, 2018 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 re- committed 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 determines 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 between 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 opposi- tion 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 13 SEPTEMBER 2018 HOUSE RECORD 3 The question being, notwithstanding the Governor’s veto, shall HB 143, relative to recommittal of a prisoner by the parole board, become law? Reps. Cushing and Welch spoke in favor. Pursuant to the New Hampshire Constitution, Part II, Article 44, a roll call, requiring a two-thirds vote of the House for approval, was taken.

    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.

    S/L Sign on Letter Re: Rescue Plan State/Local

    February 17, 2021 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress: As elected leaders representing communities across our nation, we are writing to urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including desperately needed funding for states, counties, cities, and schools, and an increase in states’ federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP). President Biden’s ambitious $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan will go a long way towards alleviating the significant financial strain COVID-19 has placed on our states, counties, cities, and schools, and the pocketbooks of working families. Working people have been on the frontlines of this pandemic for nearly a year and have continued to do their jobs during this difficult time. Dedicated public servants are still leaving their homes to ensure Americans continue to receive the essential services they rely upon: teachers and education workers are doing their best to provide quality education and keep their students safe, janitors are still keeping parks and public buildings clean, while healthcare providers are continuing to care for the sick. Meanwhile, it has been ten months since Congress passed the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund to support these frontline workers and the essential services they provide. Without significant economic assistance from the federal government, many of these currently-middle class working families are at risk of falling into poverty through no fault of their own. It is a painful irony that while many have rightly called these essential workers heroes, our country has failed to truly respect them with a promise to protect them and pay them throughout the crisis.

Friday, November 30, 2018 No. 1X Contains: House Deadlines; Seating for Organization Day ONLY; Unofficial Member List by County for 2019-2020; Meetings and Notices HOUSE CALENDAR MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE: Pursuant to Part II, Article 3, of the New Hampshire Constitution, the 166th Session of the General Court will organize on the first Wednesday in December, which will be December 5, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. (Please see the boxed notice below relative to the class picture.)

Please note that this Calendar contains your temporary seating assignments for Organization Day. Your permanent seats for the 2019 Session will be assigned by the next administration. As this will be my last Speaker’s Notice, I would like to express how grateful I am to have had the opportu- nity to serve in the New Hampshire House for the last 36 years. It truly has been a privilege to work with so many dedicated House colleagues and staff during that time, and I will always treasure the collaborative relationships that were formed and the many friends who have since passed away. Serving as House Speaker from 2000-2004, and again over this past year, has been an honor and major highlight of my tenure in the House.
