Letter
To my constituents in
Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield,
This week, we’re meeting
as committees of conference between the House and Senate. My
committee had 12 conferences, which is a lot more than usual; I
ended up on seven of them. Fortunately, many are being quickly
settled by explaining our changes to the Senators until they agree
with us. SB 459, reciprocity for real estate licensees, SB 589,
petitioning licensing boards for review of criminal records, and SB
487, licensure of certified recovery support workers, went that way.
HB 561, part time employment of retirees from the state retirement
system, was more complex, since we needed to combine the two
versions. We simplified the reporting requirements, deleted the
penalty (a percentage of pay) for retirees who worked between 1400
and 1660 hours per year, and clarified the “grandfathering” clause
to include any part time position filled by a retiree as of January
1. We also lowered the definition of “part time” from 32 to 26 hours
per week, or 1,332 hours per year. There are only a few retirees who
work more than that, and the grandfathering clause will allow the
employers to plan for those few positions.
HB 1254, a committee to
study the adoption of building codes, had been amended to include a
moratorium on changes to the building code and fire code until the
committee reported. The House had no problem with a moratorium in
principle, but since we knew both groups were in the middle of
favorable modifications, the conference committee agreed to delay
the start of the moratorium until July.
The committee on HB 1273,
allowing doctors from the Manchester VA to practice (on veterans) in
other facilities without needing a New Hampshire license, agreed to
disagree when we learned that the Senate had agreed to the changes
on SB 488, which covered the same issue.
