                  1. Another "so cold the mask is primarily for warmth" type day out there... I forgot my binder of notes on bills for today's executive session, so I'll have to just be looking up everything from my previous threads... #NHPolitics

                  Chair Dolan couldn't remember the name of Ukraine so he just said "the Middle East" (apparently that's where he thinks it is?)

                first bill of the day: HB1238: @cooljeanius/1493603351803613188

            attendance seems... sparser today; Rep. Lascelles is taking over Rep. Piemonte's position as vice chair
        1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
          Amendment to HB1238 passes 9-7, so that's 3 absences, it seems...
      1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
        so yeah consensus on HB1238 seems to be that it won't do much... looks like we're going to ITL it...
    1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
      HB1238 is ITL-ed unanimously, 16-0... there was some fear that voting against this might get portrayed as being "anti-housing", but since it ended up being unanimous against it, I guess we don't have to worry about that; seemed pretty clear we were all just objecting to details

    next: HB1259

            Republicans are making the ITL motion on this, so hopefully this one will be unanimous, too
            1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
              HB1267 is also ITL-ed unanimously, 16-0... phew, I didn't even have to raise my free speech points against it; we killed it without me having to say anything!

                next: HB1268, another one of those bad anti-vax/anti-mask bills

                    HB1268 passes along party lines (didn't quite catch the exact vote total); next is HB1272, to limit the authority of town health officers

                          motion of OTP on 1272 passes along party lines, 9-7, so I'm assuming that's what the margin was for HB1268, too...

                            Next: HB1289, Rep Renzullo's OHRV bill: @cooljeanius/1493647990162079746
                            1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                              so, consensus seems to be that while OHRV noise complaints are a legitimate issue, tax abatements aren't the right way to go about fixing it

                                yeah this reasoning wasn't really that convincing to us: @cooljeanius/1493654485163560971

                                  this reasoning seems to be more common: @cooljeanius/1493660691890421764

                                    my preferred solution would be just to ban the sale and possession of OHRVs (and really all internal combustion engine powered vehicles altogether, tbh), but that probably won't happen...

                                      looks like, instead of ITL-ing, we might be moving to interim study instead?
                                      1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
                                        so yeah HB1289 goes to interim study instead of being ITL-ed; there were 3 "no" votes, so I guess that makes the margin 13-3?

                                          Next: HB1293, preventing people from designing their own septic systems (which... what? Why could they in the first place? I'm guessing the Free Staters had something to do with it...)

                                              this is a perfect example of something where the application of Mill's Harm Principle might not seem obvious at first, but becomes more obvious the more you think about it (poor septic design affects entire communities!)

                                                I think HB1293 OTP-ed unanimously... onto HB1307

                                                          not much discussion on it; motion is to ITL it
