legislative issues

As the New Hampshire General Court develops the biennium state budget and begins to wrestle with hundreds of bills, legislators need to hear from local officials about the concerns of municipalities. To help you connect better with legislators, this webinar will:

* Include a preview of legislation that has been filed for 2023

* Outline the messages legislators need to hear from you

* Introduce NHMA’s new legislative tracking software and interactive platform for members

* Recommend grassroots action to get the municipal voice heard

Join Executive Director Margaret Byrnes, Government Affairs Counsel Natch Greyes, and Government Finance Advisor Katherine Heck for a review of the highlights from the 2022 legislative session. This will be after the legislative session ends, so except for possible vetoes, all legislative action will be final. This webinar will discuss the most significant bills of municipal interest that made it through the legislature this year, as well as a few that failed but may be back in the future.

Join NHMA's Government Affairs Counsel Natch Greyes and Government Finance Advisor Katherine Heck for a look at the status of legislation affecting municipalities after "Crossover." Crossover is the date by which a bill must pass either the House or the Senate in order to "cross-over" to the other chamber for consideration. NHMA's advocacy team will discuss the current status of bills at the State House and offer a postmortem on a few that have been killed.
