Should New Hampshire lower business taxes?
"The types of business tax reform that we passed in the 20-21 state budget should continue to be pursued. We must protect New Hampshire's small businesses while ensuring that large, multi-state and multinational corporations pay their fair share. Prior to this state budget, companies like Netflix and Amazon didn't pay New Hampshire businesses taxes, we closed those loopholes in this last budget."

Should New Hampshire add a tax on capital gains?
"I don't support a broad-based income tax, or an income tax on earned income. New Hampshire already taxes capital gains on businesses at the BPT rate, including for sole proprietors, while individuals selling stocks don't pay anything. Reform could be considered that both increase exemptions across the board and uses the same rate for individuals as sole proprietors."

"'New Hampshire has a revenue problem, not a spending problem. I don't think it would be fiscally prudent to automatically take off the table any potential revenue options, and that would include expanded gambling.' But Feltes said his criteria for a casino bill is demanding; he would need to see adequate resources dedicated to treating gambling addiction and consideration for local entertainment venues like the Capitol Center for the Arts. He also questioned whether the revenue predictions thus far are accurate."

Should New Hampshire add restrictions to the governor's powers during a state of emergency?
"Yes. And governors should comply with existing law, including RSA 9:13-d, which requires Fiscal Committee approval of expenditures in an emergency. Governor Sununu broke a bipartisan practice followed by governors, including Benson and Lynch, when Sununu evaded the Fiscal Committee in a time of an emergency."

Should NH legalize the recreational use of marijuana?
"Yes. Right now, New Hampshire is on an island in the Northeast as the only state that has not legalized marijuana. This is both an economic and racial justice issue as people of color are disproportionately arrested and charged with marijuana-related offenses. New Hampshire should legalize and regulate marijuana so that the state receives a significant amount of revenue and allocate a portion of that revenue to addiction treatment services. There should also be robust child protections in place."

Was New Hampshire right to continue expanded Medicaid eligibility, using the traditional Medicaid system of managed care instead of private insurance?
"I support this shift provided we have improved and sufficient reimbursement rates for substance misuse and mental health services, which was part of the compromise that I helped strike. At this time, the Republican leadership has refused to address this key component of our compromise."

"Senate Bill 1, which I wrote, required worker access to paid family and medical leave, but did not require how it would be paid for. Instead, it provided multiple options for businesses, without mandating a tax, of any kind. HB 712 operated the same way. Both had bipartisan sponsors. Both had broad stakeholder support, from medical professionals to worker advocates to businesses. Both were critical for workers caring for loved one with severe impairments, critical for new families, critical to combating the opioid epidemic, and critical to helping those grappling with COVID-19. Both were vetoed by Gov. Sununu who opposes paid family and medical leave."

The amended bill allows any voter to vote by absentee ballot, allows town officials to start processing ballots before Election Day, and authorizes online voter registration.
HB 687 (2019)
Establishes "extreme risk protection orders," based on evidence that there is "a significant risk of causing bodily injury to himself or herself or others," which would require the subject of the order to surrender any firearms to law enforcement.
HB 1280 (2020)
Caps how much health insurers can charge consumers for insulin at $100 for a 30-day supply. The Senate amended the bill to instead cap the payment at $30 for a 30-day supply.
HB 1166 (2020)
Establishes a committee to study the demographics of the uninsured population in New Hampshire, the barriers to obtaining healthcare coverage, and possible solutions to extend health insurance coverage. The Senate completely amended the bill to add various requirements and protections for employers and employees related to the coronavirus.

Sununu ends the state of emergency.
HB 1247 (2020)
Requires landlords to provide at least 90 days notice before a rent increase over 5%. The House amended the bill to require 60 days notice for an increase over 5% and 90 days notice for an increase over 8%. The Senate amended the bill to instead remove the requirement of an eviction notice before public welfare departments provide rental assistance. The amended bill also "creates a duty of good faith and fair dealing for mortgage lenders." Lastly, the amended bill requires landlords to offer tenants a 6-month repayment plan for rent missed during the coronavirus emergency.
HB 1645 (2020)

HB 1454 (2020)
Gives local school boards the power to determine whether to grant academic credit for alternative extended learning and work-based programs. At the time of this bill's submission, that power lies with the state board of education.

HB 1264 (2020)
Extends the Commission on the Seacoast Cancer Investigation from 2020 to 2022. The Senate amended the legislation to incorporate several bills related to PFAS.

HB 712 (2019)
Establishes a social insurance program that would be operated by New Hampshire Employment Security to provide for paid family and medical leave insurance.

HB 731 (2019)
Gradually raises the state minimum wage, starting at $12 per hour in 2020 and ending at $15 per hour in 2024.

This bill also allows cities and towns to set a higher minimum wage. Lastly, this bill establishes a "training wage," no lower than $8.50, for employees under age eighteen for the first three months of employment.
HB 685 (2019)
Prohibits balance billing for ambulance services. The bill also limits reimbursement for ambulance services to a "commercially reasonable value."

The amendment also specifically bans firearms on "school property" rather than in "school zones." School property includes buildings, grounds, school buses, and vans.
SB 290 (2019)
Modifies the work and community engagement requirements for the Granite Advantage Health Care Program, commonly known as expanded Medicaid. For example, this bill extends the work requirement exemption for parents so that parents of children under age 13 are eligible for the exemption. This bill also gives the Department of Health and Human Services the authority to waive the work requirement until July 2021 if there is an inability to communicate with program participants.
HB 109 (2019)
Requires commercial sales and transfers of firearms to take place through licensed dealers. Those dealers are required to perform background checks.

SB 10 (2019)
Increases the minimum wage to $10 per hour in 2020, then to $11 in 2022, except starting that year, employers would have to pay at least $12 per hour if they do not offer at least 10 paid sick days to employees.

SB 2 (2017)
Reduces the Business Profits Tax (BPT) from 8.2% to 7.5% and the Business Enterprise Tax (BET) from 0.72% to 0.5% in 2020. Business tax cuts were instead incorporated in the budget bill for this year.
SB 193 (2017)
Establishes the "education freedom savings account program." This allows a parent to contract with a scholarship organization so that state education funding is transferred to the student's scholarship account rather than to the municipality in which the student resides. The House amended the bill to limit the scholarships to certain students, particularly low income students, students in underperforming schools, and special education students. The amended version also requires any student receiving a scholarship to complete an annual assessment to ensure academic progress.
HB 1264 (2018)
Redefines "resident" and "inhabitant" to remove the phrase "for the indefinite future." This bill would potentially require all voters domiciled in New Hampshire to follow residency laws, such as the requirement to register any car in New Hampshire.

SB 593 (2018)
Changes the penalty for any offense eligible for the death penalty to life imprisonment without parole.
HB 144 (2017)

SB 8 (2017)
Allows a school district to assign a child to a non-sectarian private school if there is no public school for the child's grade in the child's resident district. The bill was amended to also require the non-sectarian private school to administer an annual assessment.
SB 242 (2017)
Authorizes one smaller and one larger casino with video lottery and table gaming. The smaller casino would pay an initial ten-year license fee of $40 million, and the larger casino would pay an initial ten-year license fee of $80 million. The casinos would pay a tax of 35% on gross slot machine revenue and 18% on gross table game revenue. The Legislature would choose how to distribute this revenue, provided that some of the revenue goes to towns hosting or neighboring the casino, and some of the revenue goes to treat problem gambling.
SB 66 (2017)

Out-of-state college students are still allowed to claim a domicile in New Hampshire. However, if someone moves to a new New Hampshire address within 30 days of voting, he or she must present proof of intent to stay in New Hampshire. This proof could include a lease, driver's license, a child's enrollment at a public school, etc.
SB 131 (2017)

SB 113 (2015)

SB 40 (2015)
Includes fetuses as potential victims under murder statutes. The original Senate version of the bill applied to "viable fetuses," meaning the fetus is old enough to survive outside the womb.
