Letter
To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield: This
year I sponsored a total of 23 bills, eleven passed, seven were
killed and five held over. Of the ones that passed, the two most
important are HB144, on energy efficiency districts and HB211, on
approval of agency rules. I had intended HB144 to repeal the
authorization for these districts, but the Municipal and County
Committee revised the bill to reform them instead. At least now
towns cannot borrow on their taxing authority or create priority
liens that raise mortgage costs for all residents. HB211 requires
that all agency rules get approved by the legislative committee on
rules, and new rules are reviewed by the committee that passed the
law requiring these rules.
Three of my passed bills were repeals
of antiquated laws: HB142, repealing the ban on street sales of
artificial flowers and miniature flags; HB143, repealing the ban on
flammable stove polish; and HB333, repealing some restrictions on
margarine, including the requirement that single serving packets be
triangular! HB123 repealed the state minimum wage. HB589 repeals
“card check” for public employees, requiring a secret ballot before
a union is certified as representing employees. SB161 improved and
simplified the process of adopting rules.
HB339 authorizes a
state meat inspection program, with the state veterinarian
overseeing it. HB650 allows school districts to call special
meetings, if needed because of changes in state funding. HJR3
prevents the Board of Mental Health Practice from violating patient
privacy in its investigations until the Legislature defines what is
allowable. This is critical because the Board had expansive ideas as
to what its investigative powers allowed.
Anyone who wants more
information than I can fit into a letter should email me for my
newsletter.
