NH State Rep Carol McGuire – Your State House 08/12/22: Summer Work
There was no official legislative work in July, but I did meet with the working group on HB 1312. That bill was to address the need for a 1,000-gallon grease trap at an ice cream shack and was held for study in my committee because testimony revealed multiple conflicts between the state building code and various agencies’ rules.

I was prime sponsor for twelve bills this year. HB72, building code amendments, was killed because it duplicated SB 15, which passed. HB 628, legalizing possession and home grow of cannabis, was killed in the Senate (after passing the House 241-113!)

To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, & Pittsfield: This week, the House met for the last time, until the veto session sometime in the fall, on the Committee of Conference reports.

NH State Rep Carol McGuire – Your State House 05/6/22: Senate Bills And the Session End is Nigh
This week, the House met for two days to vote on all Senate bills. Since this is the end of the session, a lot of political maneuvering took place, attempting to add House positions someone felt had not been properly treated by the Senate to bills we felt were important to them.

To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, & Pittsfield: This week my committee heard our last two Senate bills, starting with SB 224, creating children’s environmental health day.

NH State Rep Carol McGuire – Your State House 04/01/22: On to the Senate!
This week, the House met for one day to finish our House bills, including the ones pushed off from the last session. It should have been quick, but some representatives took the opportunity to pile on amendments to bills that previously passed the House – and the Senate hasn’t acted quickly enough to please them!
NH State Rep Carol McGuire – Your State House 03/25/22: Easy-Peasy
To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield:

To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, & Pittsfield: My committee met this week to recommend all our remaining House bills. First, we heard HB 1256, which changed two positions in the department of veterans’ affairs from classified to unclassified, changed the job titles, and clarified their duties. One member of the committee disliked the way … Read more
