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

Rep. Barbara Comtois

This bill originated from discussions with the Department of Agriculture, Markets, and Food (DAMF) last fall. During the hearings, it became clear that many businesses were unintentionally out of compliance because our existing labeling requirements differ from those used in other states. The amended bill resolves these inconsistencies by updating the labeling standards with the support of DAMF, seed suppliers, and other stakeholders. In addition, the bill establishes that no seed may be sold in New Hampshire more than 36 months after its production date. Vote 15-0.
