Where it stands
House: INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE
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 is basically the same as RSA:162-K, Tax Increment Finance (TIF) districts. The committee already approved another bill to remove the TIF requirement of a review committee which will essentially make this bill redundant. While infrastructure is addressed, it does not differentiate between a new area of development and an existing neighborhood in need of new or repaired infrastructure. This would lead to an unfair taxation from one neighborhood to another. Further, the bill does not consider already existing impact fees that may address the concerns of the sponsor. Vote 17-0.
