Where it stands
House: CONCURRED · Senate: PASSED/ADOPTED WITH AMENDMENT
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 — OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT
The committee believes this bill should be found Ought to Pass with Amendment. This bill with the underlying amendment would line up New Hampshire’s homeowners’ associations transparency language with the current condo association transparency language. Under this proposal, homeowners’ associations would be required to present upon request detailed minutes of meetings, receipts and expenditures made by the board, and institute conflict of interest requirements for board members as well as a number of other requirements in current condominium law. The amendment removes the enforcement mechanism in the bill in which the committee believes the fiscal note would be null. Additionally the amendment would move out the effective dating giving opportunities for homeowners’ associations to procure required documentation. Vote 18-0.
