HB 127, relative to the declaration of a state of emergency, has passed the House and had a hearing in the Senate last week. This is the bill the Governor vetoed last year.

The Senate committee voted unanimously for the bill to be killed and it heads to the floor Thursday, April 13th, with an Inexpedient to Legislate recommendation. Several of the members of that committee gladly voted for this exact bill only last year, so one must wonder what has occurred for such a change of heart in less than a year.

The House amended the language of HB127 to the budget trailer bill this week, most likely to garner votes from legislators who support State of Emergency reform and would not otherwise vote for a budget with such excessive spending.

ACTION ITEM
Please call Senate President Jeb Bradley and Senate Majority Leader  Sharon Carson and tell them to support HB 127, common sense state of emergency reform, regardless of what Governor Sununu wants.
Senator Bradley: 603.271.3479
Senator Carson: 603.271.3266

Tuesday, April 11th, N.H. Senate
Election Law and Municipal Affairs
Room 103, State House ⭐ 9:15 a.m. – SUPPORT –HB 154, relative to the adoption of public health ordinances by municipalities. Currently the law does not require a public hearing in order for a select board to adopt a public health ordinance. This proposal not only provides for a public hearing before the public health ordinance is adopted, but allows the legislative body to vote in the proposed ordinance by a majority vote. The public health boards under this proposal, could be voted on at the annual town meeting or by calling a special town meeting.
