by Lynne Ober The House met last Wednesday and Thursday and while many bills were discussed, some failed and some passed. Here are the highlights of the action. Governor Vetoes: The House did not override the Governor’s Veto on the status of the Rail Commission in New Hampshire. Those voting to override were concerned that this commission had the right to commit the state to bonded obligations with no legislative oversight. However, parents may begin to pay for part of their children’s education in public schools because the House did override by a vote of 255 to 112 the Governor’s veto on HB 542, which states that a parent may object to material and have it replaced - however, the parent will foot the bill for the development of the replacement curriculum. The bill states that alternative curriculum will be developed, however, this alternative will have a cost, and the parent will pay the total cost. “ … an alternative agreed upon by the school district and the parent, at the parent’s expense, sufficient to enable the child to meet state requirements for education in the particular subject area.” This bill has become law as the Senate also overrode the Governor’s veto.


Both the House and the Senate overrode the governor’s veto on

the insurance. For example, mandated inclusion of midwife costs were repealed, but in many cases midwives provide services at a less costly rate than a birthing hospital so a company could choose to continue to include this coverage. Hearing aids will continue to be included for people under the age of 21 when hearing has declined to a set medical standard. Bariatric surgery may be included, but is no longer mandated. The only change in Coverage for Children’s Early Intervention Services was to ensure that services were consistently provided according to established rules and standards. This bill will go to the Senate. There were three gun bills: HB 536 says that any person not prohibited from owning a gun


may carry a gun concealed without a permit and states that getting a license to carry is optional, but not prohibited. It also repealed the prohibitions against the criminal penalty for selling, possessing with intent to sell, or carrying on one’s person any blackjack, slung shot, or metallic knuckles and allowed guns in courtrooms. This bill will go to the Senate and will probably be amended in the Senate. HB 29, which would have allowed a gun owner to take a case to either the District or Superior Court, was killed. Although New Hampshire Gun Owners lobbied to have this bill passed, testimony in the House was that the current law was set up at the request of NH Gun Owners so the bill was killed. A confusing situation for all. HB 334 gives the legislature and only the legislature the right to determine a variety of issues concerning weapons. This includes, “No public or private entity shall prohibit the possession of firearms or knives on any property owned, in whole or in part, by the state, or an agency, political subdivision, committee, or other governmental unit thereof, unless expressly authorized in statute.” This bill also states, “The general court shall have exclusive authority and jurisdiction by statute over the sale, purchase, ownership, use, possession, transportation, licensing or permitting, taxation, or other matters pertaining to firearms, firearms components, ammunition, firearms supplies, and knives in the state.” This bill will go to the Senate. HB 217 passed by a vote of 213 to 125 and makes it a crime to
