So many Bill’s so little time, and between the vote fraud and trying to sort through upcoming votes, we sometimes miss the follow up post on something we’ve been vocal about before the vote. I am referring to License plate scanners per HB 675. The Bill went down in flames.
HB 675 came out of committee ought-to pass on a party-line vote (10-7 committee vote) but died with only 95 voting for and 250 voting against in the full House (55 excused or not voting.)
Police representatives, however, wouldn’t commit to permanently sticking to that (the amended 3 min maximum retention time for scanned plates) retention policy in the future. That didn’t sit well with some legislators, and Rep. Stephen Shurtleff, D-Penacook, HB 675’s sponsor, told Government Technology it was the sticking point that turned the tide against the bill.
“One of the Republicans that spoke against the bill … asked the chiefs to promise that they would not come back and ask that the three minutes be changed to three hours or three days at any time,” Shurtleff said. “They didn’t want to commit to that, not knowing what the future might bring.”
You can see filtered versions of the Roll Call vote below. I have the list of the 95 yes votes, with the Republicans who said Yea highlighted. I have also included the roll call filtered for Democrats who voted Nay, because everyone should get the credit they deserve.
