Where it stands
House: DIED ON THE TABLE

Committee reports
Reproduced from the House Calendar in the committee’s own words.
Majority — INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE
The Department of Safety gave extensive testimony against this bill. The sponsor spoke of dedicated funds and lamented that funds were being redistributed within the department. This is not unusual and is in fact something that is practiced within many department budgets. The Executive Committee of the Hillsborough County Delegation, for example, meets once a month to authorize the transfer of funds within the various department budget line items. Vote 12-5.
Minority — OUGHT TO PASS
This bill would modernize and strengthen oversight of New Hampshire’s Enhanced 911 System Fund by ensuring that the fees and revenues collected to support emergency communications are used strictly for their intended purpose, delivering and dispatching 911 calls and related operations. Under current practice, funds collected from telephone and wireless fees meant to support 911 services can be used broadly for various public safety purposes. This bill would refine these guidelines so that investments directly support core functions such as Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) operations, maintenance of communication systems, technology for call routing and processing, and personnel directly involved in emergency dispatch. At the same time, the bill would prohibit the use of these funds for unrelated expenses such as general public safety programs or infrastructure not directly tied to 911 call delivery, thereby increasing fiscal discipline and clarity in funding emerge.
