Workforce Training Programs  |  SB152

SB152 establishes a marine trades pathway at a regional career technology center based on workforce needs. It creates the non-lapsing Workforce Development and Innovation Fund to support career and technical education, funded by state appropriations, federal grants, and offshore wind lease auction proceeds. The Commissioner of Education can disburse funds following recommendations from the Offshore Wind Industry Workforce Training Center Committee. This committee focuses on the Gulf of Maine offshore wind industry’s workforce needs and suggests training, facility planning, and funding use.

The New Hampshire State House of Representatives passed SB152 on May 4, 2023 by a vote of 250 to 123. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this is an unnecessary creation of a bureaucratic arm of government. Taxpayers are on the hook for a non-lapsing fund that should be taken care of by the free market. Additionally, this feeds into the globalist green energy movement, which is already heavily subsidized by taxpayers.

School Choice Eligibility  |  HB367

HB367 increases the annual household income equal to or less than 350 percent of the federal poverty guidelines at the time of application, which is up from 300 percent for the education freedom account program.

The New Hampshire State House of Representatives passed HB367 on March 9, 2023 by a vote of 187 to 184. We have assigned pluses to the nays because all government money comes with strings attached. ESAs might sound good in theory, but they expand government involvement into all aspects of education — including homeschools and religious schools — and can potentially affect rules and curriculum. We encourage all parents to get their children out of the government school system and instead pursue sound alternatives such as homeschooling and patriotic private schools, where government funds are not involved.

Governor’s Powers  |  HB127

HB127 reduces the governor’s and courts’ state of emergency declaration powers and length.

The New Hampshire State House of Representatives passed HB127 on March 22, 2023 by a vote of 193 to 185. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because our Founding Fathers believed that checks and balances in government are essential to keeping our elected officials in check with the Constitution and to prevent any unconstitutional government overreach, and this bill gets us closer to that. Article IV, Section 4, of the U.S. Constitution, requires a limitation and separation of powers. 

Abortion Penalties  |  HB224

HB224 repeals the criminal and civil penalties from the fetal life protection act.

The New Hampshire State House of Representatives passed HB224 on March 23, 2023 by a vote of 205 to 178. We have assigned pluses to the nays because the right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and unalienable right asserted in the Declaration of Independence and protected by the U.S. Constitution and HB224 violates that right. Furthermore, there should be a greater effort to provide specific protections for the right to life in compliance with the 4th, 5th, and 14th Amendments.

Weapon Ban Repeal  |  HB31

HB31 repeals the prohibition, penalty, and exceptions relating to the carrying and possessing with intent to sell a black jack, slung shot, or metallic knuckles.

The New Hampshire State House of Representatives passed HB31 on March 9, 2023 by a vote of 196 to 176. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because restricting people from owning anything, particularly a weapon, is a gross infringement of our rights. Any step to reduce Big Brother’s oversight of the people is a good thing.

Defend the Guard  |  HB229

HB229 requires an official declaration of war for the activation of the New Hampshire national guard.

The New Hampshire State House of Representatives passed HB229 on January 4, 2024 by a vote of 187 to 182. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this would nullify unconstitutional federal deployments of the National Guard. A congressional declaration of war is constitutionally required to enter into a foreign conflict or for another constitutional reason, in accordance with Article I, Section 8, Clauses 11 and 15, of the U.S. Constitution.

School Choice Eligibility  |  HB367

HB367 increases the annual household income equal to or less than 350 percent of the federal poverty guidelines at the time of application, which is up from 300 percent for the education freedom account program.

The New Hampshire State Senate passed HB367 on May 7, 2023 by a vote of 14 to 10. We have assigned pluses to the nays because all government money comes with strings attached. ESAs might sound good in theory, but they expand government involvement into all aspects of education — including homeschools and religious schools — and can potentially affect rules and curriculum. We encourage all parents to get their children out of the government school system and instead pursue sound alternatives such as homeschooling and patriotic private schools, where government funds are not involved.

Warrantless Arrest  |  SB58

SB58 allows a peace officer to make a warrantless arrest if they have probable cause to believe that an individual has committed a misdemeanor or violation. Additionally, if the immediate arrest does not occur, the person may avoid apprehension, destroy evidence, cause harm or damage, or, if in the care of a medical professional at a residential or healthcare facility, interfere with healthcare services through actual or threatened violence.

The New Hampshire State Senate passed SB58 on March 30, 2023 by a vote of 14 to 9. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill undermines the rights of Americans protected specifically by the 4^th, 5^th, and 6^th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

Parents’ Bill of Rights  |  SB272

SB272 underscores parents’ fundamental rights in guiding the upbringing, education, and care of their minor children. It establishes a chapter defining these rights, including the authority to direct moral and religious training, choose educational paths, access information, and consent to matters like medical procedures and data sharing. The bill provides clear definitions, comprehensive parental rights, and alignment with federal laws on parent involvement in education. It emphasizes that any infringement on parental rights must be justified by clear and convincing evidence and narrowly tailored to address compelling state interests.

The New Hampshire State Senate passed SB272 on March 16, 2023 by a vote of 14 to 10. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because a student’s upbringing, education, and health care — including their mental or emotional well-being — is the responsibility and fundamental right of parents, not the government. Parental rights, as with all other fundamental rights, are protected by the Bill of Rights and the 14^th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

State Health Insurance  |  SB263

SB263 reestablishes and modifies the commission overseeing the New Hampshire Granite Advantage Health Care Program, extending its existence until 2028. Additionally, it removes the scheduled expiration of the health care program, making it a permanent initiative.

The New Hampshire State Senate passed SB263 on March 9, 2023 by a vote of 24 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the nays because government should not be involved in the healthcare business as it is not a permissible item in the U.S. Constitution. This is something that can be handled by the private and nonprofit sectors.

Sanctuary City Ban  |  SB132

SB132 prohibits any state or local government entity from establishing sanctuary policies.

The New Hampshire State Senate passed SB132 on March 30, 2023, by a vote of 13 to 10. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because cities around the country have created sanctuaries for illegal aliens, violating their constitutional oaths of office, particularly Article IV, Section 4, which states, “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion.”

Minor Medical Records  |  SB253

SB253 provides parents of minor children full access to their minor children’s medical records.

The New Hampshire State Senate passed SB253 on February 23, 2023 by a vote of 13 to 10. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because parental rights, as with all other fundamental rights, are protected by the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment. 

Background Checks  |  SB141

SB141 authorizes the FBI to conduct all National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) searches concerning the purchase, sale, and transfer of firearms through Federal Firearm Licensees operating in New Hampshire. This legislation also eliminates the states “gun line”.

The New Hampshire State House of Representatives passed SB141 on June 3, 2021 by a vote of 197 to 180. We have assigned pluses to the nays because background checks, as a general requirement for firearm purchases, are a significant infringement on our Constitutional rights, particularly the Second Amendment. Moreover, the state should not be relinquishing these decisions and surrendering its sovereignty to the Federal Government and FBI. This is a total embrace of the federal Safer Communities Act, which has further extended federal background checks conducted by the FBI. While the state’s background check, aka “gun line”, should be abolished, handing over control to the FBI is a bad alternative.

Nullification-Gun Rights  |  HB1178

HB1178 prohibits the state of New Hampshire, a political subdivision of this state, or any person acting under the color of state, county, or municipal law from using any personnel or financial resources to enforce, administer, or cooperate with any law, act, rule, order, or regulation of the United States Government or Executive Order of the President of the United States that is inconsistent with any law of this state regarding the regulation of firearms, ammunition, magazines or the ammunition feeding devices, firearm components, firearms supplies, or knives.

The New Hampshire State House of Representatives passed HB1178 on May 12, 2022 by a vote of 163 to 143. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because under article VI of the U.S. Constitution, the Constitution is the supreme law of the land and every state is bound by oath to support it. Ultimately, states have a duty to nullify any infringements by the federal government and Article 1, Section 8, of the Constitution gives congress specific powers and if there are violations of those powers, then states have a right to not comply. Also, the fundamental right of the American people to keep and bear arms is protected by the 2^nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and there should be no infringement on those rights.

Federal Vaccine Mandate  |  HB1455

HB1455 prohibits state enforcement of any federal law, order, or rule that requires an individual, as a condition of employment or any other activity, to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19.

The New Hampshire State House of Representatives passed HB1455 on March 16, 2022 by a vote of 174 to 159. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because an individual’s personal health care decisions should not be the object of government, nor be under its federal, state, or local jurisdictions in the United States. Forcing an individual to receive a vaccination or partake in any medical procedure would be a violation of their fundamental rights, freedoms, privileges, or immunities protected by the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Budget  |  HB1

HB1 authorizes the state budget, which reduced state spending by $172 million over the prior state budget.

The New Hampshire State House of Representatives passed HB1 on April 7, 2021 by a vote of 205 to 178. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because reducing government spending and shrinking government, especially during COVID and inflation, should be recognized.

Right to Work  |  SB61

SB61 would make New Hampshire a Right to Work state, prohibiting collective bargaining agreements that require employees to join a labor union.

The New Hampshire State House of Representatives failed to pass SB61 on June 3, 2021 by a vote of 175 to 199. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because no worker should be forced to join or pay a union involuntarily, as there is nothing in the Constitution that permits that.

Civil Liberties  |  HB440

HB440 prohibits the suspension of civil liberties during a state of emergency.

The New Hampshire State House of Representatives passed HB440 on April 9, 2021 by a vote of 192 to 178. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because no situation or event in the United States shall lead to the suspension of our God-given Constitutional rights. The republican form of government in New Hampshire, which is guaranteed to each state under Article IV, Section 4, of the U.S. Constitution, requires a limitation and separation of powers. Our founding fathers believed that checks and balances in government are essential to keeping our elected officials in check with the Constitution to prevent any unconstitutional government overreach.

Background Checks  |  SB141

SB141 authorizes the FBI to conduct all National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) searches concerning the purchase, sale, and transfer of firearms through Federal Firearm Licensees operating in New Hampshire. This legislation also eliminates the states “gun line”.

The New Hampshire State Senate passed SB141 on April 1, 2021 by a vote of 14 to 10. We have assigned pluses to the nays because background checks, as a general requirement for firearm purchases, are a significant infringement on our Constitutional rights, particularly the Second Amendment. Moreover, the state should not be relinquishing these decisions and surrendering its sovereignty to the Federal Government and FBI. This is a total embrace of the federal Safer Communities Act, which has further extended federal background checks conducted by the FBI.

The New Hampshire State Senate passed HB1178 on May 12, 2022 by a vote of 13 to 10. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because under article VI of the U.S. Constitution, the Constitution is the supreme law of the land and every state is bound by oath to support it. Ultimately, states have a duty to nullify any infringements by the federal government and Article 1, Section 8, of the Constitution gives congress specific powers and if there are violations of those powers, then states have a right to not comply.

The New Hampshire State Senate passed HB1455 on May 5, 2022 by a vote of 13 to 10. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because an individual’s personal health care decisions should not be the object of government, nor be under its federal, state, or local jurisdictions in the United States. Forcing an individual to receive a vaccination or partake in any medical procedure would be a violation of their fundamental rights, freedoms, privileges, or immunities protected by the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

The New Hampshire State Senate passed HB542 on May 27, 2021 by a vote of 14 to 10. We have assigned the pluses to the ayes because no law shall prohibit free exercise of religion and the right to peacefully assemble.  These rights are protected by both the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and no situation or event in the United States shall lead to the suspension of those rights.

Right to Work  |  SB61

SB61 would make New Hampshire a Right to Work state, prohibiting collective bargaining agreements that require employees to join a labor union.

The New Hampshire State Senate passed SB61 on February 11, 2021 by a vote of 13 to 11. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because no worker should be forced to join or pay a union involuntarily, as there is nothing in the Constitution that permits that.
