Where it stands
House: INTERIM STUDY
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.
In practice this often ends a bill's progress for the term.

Committee reports
Reproduced from the House Calendar in the committee’s own words.
Committee — REFER FOR INTERIM STUDY
The committee finds that this bill would require significant changes to the New Hampshire Retirement System (NHRS) which may or may not result in improving the concerns addressed by this bill. Proxy votes are an important tool of corporate policy, and review of the current policy adopted by the NHRS shows that only votes motivated by financial benefit are permitted with votes based upon social issues prohibited. Additionally, today’s investment policy includes the following charge: “Making all decisions solely in the interest of, and for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to the members, retirees, and their beneficiaries.” As of fiscal year end 2025, the unfunded liability for the pension plan is $5.2 billion and remains on track to be fully funded by 2039. Vote 14-0.
