Where it stands
House: PASSED/ADOPTED · Senate: PASSED/ADOPTED
Every floor vote on this bill was a voice or division vote, so there is no record of how individual legislators voted.
A bill goes on the consent calendar when the committee vote was unanimous or nearly so, and any members who dissented did not object to placing it there. It then passes without floor debate. Ten members may file a petition to pull a bill off the consent calendar and have it debated and voted on separately.

Committee reports
Reproduced from the House Calendar in the committee’s own words.
Committee — INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE
This bill seeks to amend RSA 28-B:1 by updating the name of a division within the Department of Health and Human Services from “elderly and adult services” to “long term supports and services” and to revise and make uniform the two-year terms of certain members appointed by the Commissioner of Health and Human Services, the Governor and Council, and the NH Association of Counties. It would also remove the requirement to include a member of the Municipal and County Government standing committee, instead allowing the Speaker to appoint any member of the House of Representatives as a member of the commission. This bill also seeks to amend RSA 28-B:3 by eliminating obsolete language that refers to services or treatment for children, youth, families, juveniles and minors and replaces it with “long term supports and services.” Although there was testimony in support of this bill, neither the prime sponsor nor any of the cosponsors were present at the scheduled hearing. The absence of the sponsor or a designated representative prevented the committee from asking questions to obtain the essential information needed to fully assess and evaluate this legislation and its potential implications. Consequently, the committee recommended the bill be Inexpedient to Legislate. Vote 14-0.
