House and Senate bills appearing

(A feast for the legislative geek in you; mangia! - promoted by Dean)

The full text of bills is beginning to flow out of Legislative Services and appear on the General Court web site. House-originated bills are here; Senate-originated bills are here.

It's possible that the first bills to appear are those that were crafted and defeated in previous years.

The Hate caucus is active. House Bill 69 recognizes the authority of churches to perform marriage ceremonies unless proscribed by RSA 457:1 or RSA 457:2 thereby outlawing, for example, a Unitarian ceremony to recognize a same-sex union.

Clearly unConstitutional. Gives Kelly Ayotte a chance to get shot down by SCOTUS again (though I can't see it getting that far).

The full list of Legislative Service Requests is still available here.

Happily for those afflicted with a taste (0.00 / 0)
for bad puns, there is a Weed bill decriminalizing marijuana possession.

Four Constitutional Amendments so far (0.00 / 0)
CACR-1: Ban same-sex marriage and civil unions in the Constitution itself
CACR-2: Strip authority over legislative acts from the courts
CACR-3 and CACR-4: Competing amendments to allow spending gas tax revenue on forms of public transportion other than highways

Hearings (4.00 / 1)
The House and Senate calendars are posted online.  The schedule for hearings is pretty light right now since so few bills are out.
