NH State Rep Carol McGuire – Your State House 6/11/21

June 11, 2021: This week, the House and Senate met to consider amendments to each other’s bills (the House on Senate amendments to House bills, and vice versa.)

Since, in most cases, the changes were minor (wording changes, effective date changes, making it one senator on a committee rather than three) we agreed with most of them. The debate was minimal, and primarily from those opposed to the basic bill rather than the Senate amendment.


We want to thank Rep Carol McGuire for this Op-Ed. If you have an Op-Ed or LTE you would like
us to consider; please submit it to Skip@GraniteGrok.com or Steve@GraniteGrok.com.


We also agreed (for the most part) on Senate requests for committees of conference on our amendments to Senate bills. My committee has five conferences, one on HB 417, governor’s powers during an emergency: the Senate has been working with the governor and a number of House members on improved language.

I think the Senate amendment met minimal requirements for this issue, and every suggested change I’ve seen makes it better. We meet Monday to finalize the language.

The other four are on our changes to Senate bills, three omnibuses (SB 104, SB 133, and SB 155), and SB 42, expanding the ban on self-serving dealings by elected officials to services as well as goods. I don’t know what their concerns are on any of these; I’m on the committee for SB 133 and expect it’s mostly confusion after the 50+ page amendment!
