Finance Committee Work Sessions LOB, Room 210-211

SB 417 relative to out-of-home placements for children (OPPOSE OR SUPPORT  AMENDMENT)

RebuildNH offers this detail: "More bad news this week. The House passed the undesirable SB 417 without the amendment we supported to make it palatable, and without any changes the bill could further limit due process for parents when their natural right to raise their children is being challenged by DCYF. We really appreciated the amendment by the House Children and Family Law committee, but the House rejected this effort and passed the underlying bill without it, and then referred the bill to the Finance Committee for further work. If this bill passes as is, government court officials will determine whether a parent is fit to perform his or her parental duties relative to "the unique needs of the child, and whether or not the parent is adequately prepared to address those needs." The state has no business making this determination. Parents ought to be innocent until proven guilty, and the state ought to present real evidence of wrongdoing before even considering an effort to challenge parental rights under the due process of law. Please ask the Finance Committee to amend this bill or support an ITL recommendation.

SB 63 adoption of public health ordinances by municipalities (SUPPORT)

Please call or text Representative Bill Boyd and ask him to support pulling SB63 off the table and support the OTP motion so that it passes the NH House. You can reach Rep. Boyd at (603) 660-6077, he was the only Republican and deciding vote.

Currently health officers have unlimited authority to make any ordinance they wish. This bill limits their ordinance authority to only "nuisances" and I now realize this term is pretty well defined in law. By passing this bill, health officers will no longer be able to make any ordinance in the next pandemic like we saw during Covid with mask mandates and such. (details courtesy of RebuildNH - they have been working on this issue for four years!)

Thursday, May 9th N.H. House Session

SB 349 Relative to a voluntary home visiting program report by the wellness and primary prevention council. (OPPOSE)

The State is coming after your children! If this "Nanny State bill" passes, the obscure Wellness and Primary Prevention Council would meet to determine what legal language would be the most effective to "build a strong system of universal home visiting" for families with newborns and young children. The council itself was established by statute to increase government-created social services. It's obvious that the purpose of this bill is to create a new social program so every newborn child and young child in the state would receive a visit from government agents to monitor how they are being raised before the state takes over completely in government-run schools. This effort is simply one more cradle-to-grave Nanny State nightmare scenario that all our dystopian fictions books warned about. Let's stop this effort before it even begins.
