Again, I'm only going to livetweet as much as I have energy for and can keep up with; if a bill goes by too quickly for me to type anything about, I reserve the right to skip tweeting anything about it.Permalink On twitter.com

Starting now with HB440, which claims to be a civil/ religious liberties bill, but is actually a "Reopen" anti-science bill. @CamKenney is making a good argument against it; let's kill it! #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

HB542 is another "Reopen" bill to let people spread COVID more easily. Church via YouTube/Zoom works perfectly fine; there's no reason it HAS to be in person. Thanks to @AlexisSimpsonNH for making the case against HB542 here. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

HB402 is being untabled; it was the last bill of the day yesterday, so apparently the GOP has found votes today that it didn't have yesterday... #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

Apparently the GOP is trying to use jury duty records as some sort tool to fight (non-existent) voter fraud with HB561? That's sneaky. And a violation of privacy. WTF. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

HB243 is up now; this was the confusing one that was actually 3 separate bills that got combined, so I'm not going to bother searching up my old tweets on it, due to their fragmented nature. It's actually not that bad a bill, it just needs more work, IMO. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

But yeah, even though it's not THAT bad, I'm still voting against it anyways, just due to the cleanups it needs. We really need a full GitHub/GitLab style workflow here, for accountability/attribution of changes, not just postings of individual files without any version controlPermalink On twitter.com

onto SciTech's bills now with HB315, on the aggregation of electric customers. If this bill came out of committee unanimously, why wasn't it on the consent calendar? I don't see any note saying "because it's a budget bill" this time... #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

Next is HB373, on state participation in low carbon fuel standards programs. This is a bad bill; it's a gag rule that violates DES's right to free speech, and it'll worsen the climate crisis. Let's defeat it. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

Still, though, ending QI for cops is important enough that the unintended consequences of it affecting other people are probably acceptable, so I'm going to vote for it (and against tabling) anyways. The warts can be fixed in the senate. #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com
