New Hampshire legislators are sponsoring roughly 850 bills this year, but dozens of those are repeats from previous years. Sometimes legislators refine a bill based on feedback, but sometimes the bill text is identical. Here are three hot debates that will get a do-over in 2023.
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan (D-NH) has honored Kaylee Richard of Manchester as one of her Granite Staters of the Month for the month of January.

The New Hampshire House of Representatives’ Transportation Committee met on Tuesday. Here is a recap of the bills they heard.
During a hearing last week, the New Hampshire House of Representatives’ Committee on Municipal and County Government, testimony was given on HB 44. If it becomes law, the proposed piece of legislation would allow four residential dwelling units by right anywhere that is zoned for single-family homes and has municipal water and sewer services.
“I’m grateful that the meeting occurred and I think it was eye-opening for the state to hear directly from the mayors, and what we are encountering in our communities,” Mayor Joyce Craig said of the Jan. 20 meeting with DHHS interim commissioner Lori Weaver and others in Concord.
