First order of business is approval of the revenue estimates. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

Motions to approve and table the revenue estimates are approved and tabled unanimously on voice vote. Now onto HB586, the housing bill from my committee that we postponed from yesterday. #NHPoliticsOn twitter.com

Someone is already trying to table it. No, representative, this bill does NOT need work, we have already done plenty on it. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

motion to table HB586 passes 175-172; wtf. I thought we had bipartisan support on this one. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

Now we're onto HB81, the GOP's evil bill to let them run over pedestrians. I really hope we can defeat this one. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

Phew, we actually tabled it (HB81) by a large margin. I wonder what the "new information" mentioned was... #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

Next up is HB197, another GOP bill to expand use of deadly force. For a party that's supposedly "pro-life" they sure do seem to like to find new reasons to make it legal to kill people. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

Next up is HB365, which would give peace officer status to federal law enforcement officers. Dems on the committee were split on this, but given how the Feds were sent into Portland Oregon last year, I'm going to oppose this. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

Ok we killed that bill. Pretty sure I managed to vote "yes" on the motion to ITL. Next up is HB564, Rep. Espitia's bill to ban rubber bullets and tear gas. This is a good bill; we should pass this. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

...or table it, I guess. Weird how we're using tabling as a way to save this bill when we used it as a way to kill previous ones. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

HB110 passes. Next is HB194, on release of student assessment info and data. I support data protection and privacy, so I'll be opposing this bill. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

HB194 passes. Big win for testing companies, big loss for students. Now onto HB242, which is about the criteria for student adequate education. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

Going back to earlier in this thread to the part about HB81 and HB197, previously I characterized the former as the car-focused one and the latter as the broader one, but after seeing other tweets on the subject, I'm not as sure anymore which was which... oh well. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

Anyways, back to the current debate on education... I could do an entire thread on this distinction between logic and scientific fact that this rep just drew, but we're pressed for time here. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

Motion being made to limit debate. I mean I get it, I don't like it when people go on forever, either, but sometimes it's necessary to do so. Will be voting to table this motion, because we're getting too meta here and need to stop. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

Back to actual bills... Next is HB320, requiring a civics competency, which I thought we already did? #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

I'm not necessarily opposed to requiring the citizenship test for students (I've tutored for it and it's pretty easy), but it just seems redundant with the existing civics requirement. Let's just keep our current civics requirement, it's fine as-is. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

Also, fun fact, my graduating class (2009) was the last year that didn't have the civics requirement, but I went and took the civics class anyways when it became available. I was the only senior in a class of juniors. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

ok, so the citizenship test bill passes. Which, well, fine. I voted against it because it seemed redundant, but honestly I'm not too upset about it passing because it's not that big a deal. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

Next is HB349, on the qualifications required for school nurses. I'm going to trust the NH Nurses Association on this that the current requirements are fine and thus this bill isn't needed, and thus I will be voting against it. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

Gah. Guess we're going on to HB513, which would give degree-granting authority to Signum University, which... what? I have never heard of this place. I will trust that Rep. Luneau's description of this place is accurate. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

Did this GOP Rep. promoting Signum get his statement written directly by their advertising department? Seems like it could have been. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com
