The coming week presents one of the best opportunities to expand medical freedom yet, and your emails and testimony will be needed to push some of our core RebuildNH bills across the finish line.

There is some good news to report below, but also a few efforts we still need your help with.

First off, the following bills are in jeopardy and we need your help getting them across the finish line. Please call Senator James Gray about HB1268 and HB1272: 603-271-3479. Please call Senator Jeb Bradley about HB1131: 603-271-3266.

⭐ SUPPORT: HB 1268, this bill would prevent a town or city from ever implementing a mask ordinance again. It would also prohibit any other nonsensical Covid regulation at the town level. Tell Senator Gray that we don’t accept local tyranny.

⭐ SUPPORT: HB 1272, this bill enacts much needed restrictions on town health officers. Remind Senator Gray that there must be limits on authority.

⭐ SUPPORT: HB 1131, relative to facial covering policies for schools. This bill prohibits public schools from creating policies that force students or members of the public to wear masks. We believe parents should always be able to opt-out of mask mandates for their own children and the law ought to reflect that. Let Senator Bradley know you want this bill passed unamended.

Please target your outreach in support of these three bills toward Sen. Jeb Bradley and Sen. Chuck Morse, the Senate leaders, by calling Bradley at 603-271-3266 or Morse at 603-271-3479 or emailing them at Jeb.Bradley@leg.state.nh.us and Chuck.Morse@leg.state.nh.us.

Please Submit Group communications or Press Releases for consideration

Senate Session: Thursday, April 21

The Senate has done some good work this week, but there are still a few lingering efforts that could use your attention:

⛔ OPPOSE ITL, SUPPORT OTP —HB 1425, relative to the taking of real property by eminent domain. This bill modifies the power of the governor and council to take private property during states of emergency as well as adjusts the calculation of compensation paid for such takings. The Senate Judiciary Committee, chaired by Sen. Sharon Carson, unanimously voted ITL (inexpedient to legislate) for HB 1425, which will kill the bill. Please ask the Senate to oppose the ITL (Inexpedient to Legislate) recommendation, and support an OTP (ought to pass) motion on the floor.
⛔ OPPOSE INTERIM STUDY, SUPPORT OTP—HB 1044, relative to direct payment and membership-based health care facilities. This is a really important bill and the committee’s recommendation needs to be overturned on the floor. This bill doesn’t need to be studied, it needs to become law to create desperately needed competition in the health care market. This bill amazingly would carve out an exemption allowing business ventures to create hospitals and other medical facilities that only accept direct payment, which would exempt them from federal COVID regulations and other potential federal overreach. Please ask the Senate to oppose the Interim Study recommendation, and support an Ought To Pass motion.
⭐ SUPPORT OTP-A—HB 1495, prohibiting the state from requiring businesses to require vaccine or documentation related to vaccination or immunity status. This bill as amended prohibits the state and all the political subdivisions from mandating vaccines for any private business. The purpose of this bill is to prevent us from ever having a NYC style passport system.

Please contact the whole Senate and ask them to support HB 1425, HB 1044, and HB 1495:

Here’s some good news. The following RebuildNH bills were recommended by Senate Committees and are set to pass by a single voice vote on Thursday. Should this occur, the bills would then head on to the governor’s desk. If you’d like, express some gratitude to the Senate for passing these bills:

⭐ SUPPORT: HB 1439, relative to hospital visitation policies. This bill allows, with limited exception, a patient to designate a parent, spouse, family member, or other caregiver to be present while the patient receives hospital care.
⭐ SUPPORT: HB 1003, prohibiting health care providers from refusing to provide care or services based on patient vaccination status. Sadly, this bill is very much needed to protect unvaccinated citizens from being treated as second-class citizens.
⭐ SUPPORT: HB 1488, expanding the prohibition against discrimination based on an individual’s election not to participate in the state vaccine registry. This bill plainly confirms that a person cannot be discriminated against for removing their information from the vaccine database, which should be an elementary and obvious truth. We suspect N.H.’s government would attempt to create a vaccine passport system using the immunization database, and this bill would hinder that attempt.
⭐ SUPPORT: HB 1604, including state medical facilities in the statute providing medical freedom in immunizations. This bill repeals the exemption of government nursing homes, hospitals and medical facilities from the statute pertaining to medical freedom in immunizations.
⭐ SUPPORT: HB 1608, requiring the department of health and human services to contact certain individuals whose information was included in the state immunization registry. This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services to remove your private medical information from the State’s Vaccination Registry.
