HB59: Dennis Manion, Salem Support00:00:51.000 - 9:01:12 AM; Representative Dennis Manion introduced HB59, which aims to enhance penalties for assaults on Public Safety officials, including law enforcement, firefighters, and EMS personnel. The bill adds language to the RSA under first and second-degree assault, raising the penalty for first-degree assault to a class A misdemeanor and addressing knowingly or recklessly causing bodily injury or unprivileged physical contact. Manion highlighted the need for such a bill in the current cultural climate of anti-police rhetoric, emphasizing protection for all Public Safety officials. He also discussed the inclusion of an extended term of imprisonment for certain crimes, clarifying that this section was added to streamline the legal process and ensure clear penalties.
HB59: Representative Pette Information Only00:03:10.840 - 9:03:31 AM; Representative Pette asked if the bill encompasses both municipal and private EMS personnel. Manion responded that it would likely apply to all EMS personnel, including those working for municipal agencies.
HB59: Representative Lels Information Only00:03:57.879 - 9:04:18 AM; Representative Lels inquired if public servants like themselves would be included in the bill. Manion clarified that the bill specifically targets Public Safety officials and suggested filing a separate bill for public servants if necessary.
HB59: Representative Newman Information Only00:04:44.360 - 9:05:05 AM; Representative Newman suggested using a more inclusive phrase like 'First Responders' to avoid leaving out any groups. Manion explained that the list in the bill was based on existing statute language under RSA 651:6, but acknowledged Newman's concern.
HB59: Representative Muse Information Only00:05:33.000 - 9:05:54 AM; Representative Muse asked how the bill addresses encounters with individuals experiencing mental health crises or under the influence. Manion explained that the 'knowingly' standard is high and would consider such situations in trial, while being under the influence is not a defense in New Hampshire. Newman added that the penalties are not mandatory minimums, allowing judicial discretion.
HB59: Representative N Information Only00:07:06.960 - 9:07:27 AM; Representative N expressed concern about the term 'recklessly' and its application, particularly when the Public Safety official is not in uniform or on duty. Manion clarified that the person would need to know the individual's profession for the law to apply and that recklessly is a culpable state of mind below knowingly.
HB59: Mark Crew, Manchester Support00:08:37.799 - 9:08:58 AM; Mark Crew, an EMS professional from Manchester, supported the bill based on his 40 years of experience. He shared personal experiences of being assaulted while on duty, emphasizing that such incidents often go unaddressed due to lack of consequences. Crew highlighted the need for the bill to provide protection and consequences for assaulting EMS, police, and firefighters, regardless of the setting or size of the community.
HB59: Representative Murray Information Only00:11:40.440 - 9:12:01 AM; Representative Murray asked Crew about incidents being dismissed and the progress of similar legislation last year. Crew explained that regular assault charges often do not result in consequences due to the quick release of the assailant and that last year's legislation did not advance.
HB59: Representative Lels Information Only00:12:28.760 - 9:12:49 AM; Representative Lels inquired about the current state of the law regarding assault charges. Crew confirmed that assault charges are usually misdemeanors or violations and that EMS personnel feel more vulnerable due to their uniforms.
HB59: Representative N Information Only00:14:06.440 - 9:14:27 AM; Representative N asked Crew about the applicability of the law to off-duty and non-uniformed EMS personnel. Crew clarified that the law would apply if he identified himself as an EMT and was assaulted thereafter.
HB59: Representative Muse Information Only00:16:27.880 - 9:16:48 AM; Representative Muse asked about the necessity of warrantless arrests and the definition of 'unprivileged physical contact.' Manion explained that warrantless arrests are allowed for felonies with probable cause and that the inclusion of unprivileged physical contact in the bill aims to prevent any assaults on officers, though the penalty is less severe than for causing bodily injury.
HB59: Representative N Information Only00:21:07.559 - 9:21:28 AM; Representative N discussed a situation involving a juvenile biting an officer and asked how such cases are handled. Manion and Crew explained that the line is drawn based on the situation and the individual's actions, with professionalism and situational awareness playing key roles in decision-making.
HB59: Representative N Information Only00:24:59.080 - 9:25:20 AM; Representative N asked about trauma-informed training for police and EMS personnel. Crew confirmed that such training is provided both at the academy and through private agencies.
HB59: Holly Stevens, Nami New Hampshire Oppose00:26:22.919 - 9:26:43 AM; Holly Stevens, representing Nami New Hampshire, testified in opposition to HB59. She expressed concerns that the bill would disproportionately and punitively impact individuals with mental health crises by raising simple assault to a felony level, allowing warrantless arrests. Stevens argued that people in crisis should receive treatment and support rather than face arrest and jail time. She highlighted the frequent interactions between individuals with mental illness and First Responders, suggesting that the bill's current language could lead to higher penalties and more difficulty in obtaining bail for those with mental illness. Stevens referenced a previous stakeholder group discussion on a similar issue with healthcare workers, which resulted in Senate Bill 58 of 2023, suggesting a similar careful consideration for HB59. She urged the committee to slow down the process and work with advocates and First Responders to find a resolution that balances the protection of First Responders with the rights of individuals with mental illness.
HB59: Kathleen Pockette, Manchester Support00:37:18.400 - 9:37:39 AM; Kathleen Pockette from Manchester testified in support of HB59, citing her personal and family experiences with EMS. She shared incidents where her daughters and husband, all in EMS, faced physical threats or injuries. Pockette emphasized the importance of addressing physical touching, even without injury, as it can be intended to cause harm, as in the case of her daughter who was grabbed by the throat in an ambulance. She also discussed the risks of being recognized out of uniform, leading her husband to work out of state for safety. Pockette's testimony highlighted the need for protection for EMS workers due to the nature of their work and the potential for violence against them.
HB59: Kate Horan, New Hampshire Association of Counties Support00:41:07.400 - 9:41:28 AM; Kate Horan, representing the New Hampshire Association of Counties, expressed support for HB59 but suggested a minor amendment to include correctional officers. She noted that counties are equipped to handle bail via judges or magistrates under the magistrate program. Horan did not take a position on the felony aspect of the bill, stating it as a policy decision, but affirmed that counties do not want individuals in mental health crises to languish in correctional facilities. She answered questions regarding pre-trial services and the process for handling individuals charged with certain crimes, emphasizing the procedures set up to ensure timely judicial review.
HB59: Karen Rosenberg, Disability Rights Center Oppose00:45:01.960 - 9:45:22 AM; Karen Rosenberg from the Disability Rights Center testified in opposition to HB59, expressing concerns about its impact on individuals with various disabilities, including mental health crises, intellectual and developmental disabilities, brain injuries, and Alzheimer's. She shared a personal story about her father with Alzheimer's, illustrating how the disease led to aggressive behavior without malicious intent. Rosenberg argued that the bill's felony classification for simple assault could harm vulnerable populations without effectively deterring or punishing intentional acts. She suggested the need for further study and collaboration to find a solution that protects First Responders while considering the circumstances of those with disabilities.
HB59: Newman Information Only00:58:12.799 - 9:58:33 AM; Newman expressed concern about the clarity of a citation referenced in the bill on page one, line 14, specifically mentioning RSA 597 and paragraph 3 A1. They noted difficulty in finding this citation and requested help from the sponsors or committee.
HB59: Unnamed Speaker Information Only00:59:16.359 - 9:59:37 AM; The speaker, who has never practiced criminal law, provided a quick understanding of the bill. They suggested that the bill would create a presumption of dangerousness, which courts would consider when deciding whether to release a defendant on personal recognizance or bail, or to detain them. They advised consulting with a criminal law expert for a more detailed interpretation.
HB59: Lauren Barry, Certified Firefighter Advanced EMT, State of New Hampshire Support01:00:11.400 - 10:00:32 AM; Lauren Barry, a certified firefighter and advanced EMT, spoke passionately in support of the bill. She shared her extensive experience in different demographics and recounted a personal assault incident that led to her needing an ER evaluation. Barry emphasized the need for the bill to protect emergency responders from assaults, which she felt were often dismissed lightly. She argued that the bill was not intended to charge every person who raises a hand but to provide protection and uphold a standard against assaulting those in uniform. She invited committee members to experience the job firsthand to understand the discretion and training involved in handling patients in various situations.
HB59: Amanda Aad, Seating Options AC Oppose01:08:36.799 - 10:08:57 AM; Amanda Aad urged the committee to pause and reconsider moving forward with HB59. She argued that adding further enhanced penalties based on career or profession, when extended terms of imprisonment already exist for assaulting emergency responders, could lead to abuse and a problematic power dynamic. Aad highlighted that New Hampshire's laws already carve out enhanced penalties for emergency responders and questioned the necessity and potential overreach of the proposed changes. She expressed concerns about mass incarceration, plea bargaining, and the lack of deterrent effect of long sentences, suggesting that resources should instead be used to support emergency services more effectively.
HB59: Representative Murray Information Only01:16:23.120 - 10:16:44 AM; Representative Murray asked for clarification on the existing RSA where extended prison terms are already specified, which was identified as RSA 651:6.
HB59: Elizabeth Sergeant, New Hampshire Association of Chiefs of Police Support01:17:04.840 - 10:17:25 AM; Elizabeth Sergeant, representing the New Hampshire Association of Chiefs of Police, expressed support for HB59. She emphasized the seriousness of the bill and the willingness of law enforcement to work with stakeholders to address raised concerns. She clarified that the bill was not seen as duplicative of Senate Bill 78 due to different settings and contexts. Sergeant affirmed law enforcement's consideration of the totality of circumstances in handling such situations.
HB59: Brendan Davey, New Hampshire State Police Information Only01:28:42.960 - 10:29:03 AM; Major Brendan Davey of the New Hampshire State Police provided testimony emphasizing the seriousness with which allegations of misconduct against law enforcement officers are treated. He pointed out the potential for materially false allegations and the specific codification of misconduct under RSA 105:19, which lists six or seven particular offenses. Davey suggested that clarifying the statute to refer specifically to violations of law rather than subjective matters like professionalism could help remove ambiguity. He also addressed concerns about overlapping with the unsworn falsification statute, noting that some allegations might not invoke that statute as they are not sworn statements. He suggested further discussion on this overlap during the executive session.
HB146: Representative Pro Information Only02:01:52.159 - 11:02:13 AM; Representative Pro introduced House Bill 146 on behalf of the prime sponsor, who was unable to attend. The bill aims to extend the retention period of video evidence for violations. Representative Pro mentioned that the bill focuses on keeping video evidence longer for violations where it is not currently kept for an extended period. They did not take questions on the bill.
HB146: Representative Dennis Manion, Salem Oppose02:02:36.960 - 11:02:57 AM; Representative Dennis Manion from Salem opposed House Bill 146, arguing that the retention of body camera footage for violations is already adequately addressed by current practices and laws. He explained that body camera footage related to arrests or charges is retained for a minimum of three years, and retention rules are preset in systems like Axon and WatchGuard. Manion also criticized the bill's provision for requesting camera recordings within five days, suggesting it should be handled through the discovery process instead. He expressed concern about the bill's penalty provision, which could lead to case dismissals if recordings are not provided in time, suggesting it might be an attempt to get charges dropped.
HB146: Stephen Enders, Assistant County Attorney, Merrimack County Attorney's Office Oppose02:05:22.599 - 11:05:43 AM; Stephen Enders, an Assistant County Attorney from Merrimack County, opposed House Bill 146. He noted that RSA 105-D:2, the body-worn camera statute, has shortcomings but is being addressed by Senate Bill 289. Enders pointed out that HB 146 only applies to violations under RSA 265, creating inconsistency with more serious crimes. He also expressed concerns about the bill's penalty provision, suggesting it could discourage law enforcement from adopting body cameras. Enders answered questions about the existing statutes on body cameras, including their activation, muting, and retention rules, which aim to protect privacy and ensure evidence preservation.
HB698: Prime Sponsor Support03:30:52.160 - 12:31:13 PM; The prime sponsor introduced House Bill 698, which aims to address safety and accountability issues by requiring law enforcement officers to provide identification when not in uniform and not engaged in undercover operations. The sponsor cited examples of individuals posing as law enforcement officers to commit crimes and emphasized that the bill would not interfere with legitimate law enforcement activities. They noted that the bill should not have a budget impact and answered questions about its differences from existing laws like RSA 104:28-a, which requires intent to exercise police powers, while HB 698 addresses situations without explicit commands.
HB698: Brendan Davey, New Hampshire State Police Oppose03:42:05.120 - 12:42:26 PM; Major Brendan Davey of the New Hampshire State Police opposed House Bill 698, arguing that existing laws already cover similar situations and that the bill could create unnecessary complications. He highlighted issues of exigency, where officers might not have the opportunity to show identification, particularly in off-duty situations. Davey also discussed the use of undercover officers and the potential risks if they were required to identify themselves in dangerous situations. He clarified that law enforcement officers are generally required to provide their name and badge number upon request and emphasized that filming officers is a well-settled matter of law in New Hampshire.
HB698: John Sytek, Rockingham District 26, Portsmouth Ward 3 Support04:00:55.000 - 1:01:16 PM; John Sytek, a police commissioner from Portsmouth, supports HB698. He explained that the bill is an extension of previous legislation introduced by Representative Roy and then-Senator Harold French. This legislation aimed to require written informed consent for vehicle searches, informing individuals of their constitutional right to refuse consent. The current bill extends this requirement to all property searches where consent is sought. Sytek mentioned that this is akin to providing Miranda rights for searches, ensuring individuals are aware of their rights. He also stated that implementing this in Portsmouth would not be an issue, as many police departments already follow similar practices.
HB698: Stephen Anderson, Assistant County Attorney, Merrimack County Oppose04:10:05.439 - 1:10:26 PM; Stephen Anderson, an assistant county attorney from Merrimack County, opposes HB698. He argued that under current New Hampshire law, searches are conducted with a warrant or under exceptions like consent, which is established through case law without a requirement to inform individuals of their right to refuse consent. Anderson expressed concerns about the bill's requirement for written or recorded consent, suggesting it goes beyond current Miranda rights practices. He highlighted potential issues with officers not having the necessary forms or body cameras, which could hinder consent searches. Anderson also criticized the bill's language as confusing and noted the severe remedy of evidence exclusion for statutory violations, which he feels is disproportionate.
HB468: Jonah Orion Wheeler, Hillsborough's 33rd District, representing Peterborough and Sharon Support04:30:10.520 - 1:30:31 PM; Jonah Orion Wheeler, representing Peterborough and Sharon, supports HB468. He introduced the bill, which addresses the regulation of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones). Wheeler explained that the legislation establishes a tiered system of penalties for unlawful drone operations, starting with a violation for the first offense, escalating to misdemeanors and felonies based on the severity and repetition of the offense. He emphasized the risks drones pose to air travel, citing recent incidents, and argued for the necessity of the bill to enhance safety and security in the skies.
HB468: Jonah Orion Wheeler, Hillsborough's 33rd District, representing Peterborough and Sharon Information Only04:30:10.520 - 1:30:31 PM; Jonah Orion Wheeler was finishing his speech and did not provide new testimony in this snippet.
HB468: Unnamed Speaker Information Only04:39:45.840 - 1:40:06 PM; The speaker discussed the distinction between Class A and Class B felonies related to drone operations. They noted that a Class B felony applies if a human-occupied aircraft is damaged but still flyable, while a Class A felony applies if the aircraft crashes due to the operation, resulting in death or serious bodily injury. The speaker expressed curiosity about the differentiation based on the outcome rather than the act itself, suggesting that causing a crash should be considered a Class A felony regardless of the resulting injury.
HB468: Unnamed Speaker Information Only04:40:31.200 - 1:40:52 PM; The speaker continued discussing the difference between Class A and Class B felonies, emphasizing that the classification depends on whether the aircraft is merely damaged or crashes and results in death or serious bodily injury. They noted the importance of the 'and' clause in the legislation, which implies that both the crash and the resulting harm need to occur for it to be considered a Class A felony.
HB468: Unnamed Speaker Information Only04:42:06.000 - 1:42:27 PM; The speaker further elaborated on the felony classifications, confirming that a Class A felony is contingent upon the aircraft crashing and causing death or serious bodily injury, while a Class B felony is for damage without a crash. They offered to discuss the matter further after the hearing.
HB468: Unnamed Speaker Information Only04:42:52.240 - 1:43:13 PM; The speaker mentioned the existing federal regulations on drone operations, highlighting the FAA's warnings included with drone purchases. They raised concerns about the weaponization of drones, referencing incidents in Manchester and Ukraine, and suggested an amendment to include intentional harm caused by drones as a Class A felony.
HB468: Unnamed Speaker Information Only04:45:12.520 - 1:45:33 PM; The speaker noted that weaponizing a drone is already illegal in the state and clarified that intentionally running a drone into a person would constitute assault, with the severity of the felony depending on the resulting injury.
HB468: Helen Hanks, Commissioner of the Department of Corrections Support04:46:40.120 - 1:47:01 PM; Commissioner Helen Hanks expressed support for HB468, highlighting the challenges faced by correctional facilities due to drone operations. She detailed incidents across the country where drones have been used to drop contraband like drugs, firearms, and cell phones into correctional facilities, causing chaos and safety issues. Hanks stressed the need for consequences for such actions, noting a free pilot program that identified unauthorized drones over their facility. She also suggested extending the legislation to cover county jails and offered to provide cost information on drone detection systems.
HB468: Christopher Ball, Department of Safety, State Police, Aviation Unit Support04:51:11.480 - 1:51:32 PM; Christopher Ball from the Department of Safety's Aviation Unit supported HB468, emphasizing the collaborative effort among various state departments to draft the legislation. He proposed a technical amendment to include penalties for interfering with law enforcement, firefighting, or other emergency responses. Ball explained that the bill would provide law enforcement with tools to address nefarious drone operations, which currently lack regulation in New Hampshire. He also noted the importance of education before taking enforcement action and mentioned incidents where drones have interfered with emergency operations.
HB468: Jason Levit, NH Department of Transportation, UAS Planner Information Only04:57:31.840 - 1:57:52 PM; Jason Levit from NH Department of Transportation introduced himself as the UAS planner and offered technical information on drones. He invited his Bureau Administrator, Trisha Lambert, to join him for further discussion.

She highlighted their collaboration with other agencies to develop drone operation guidelines and stressed the importance of education and safety. Lambert expressed their goal to provide law enforcement with guidance to address repeat offenders and nefarious drone use.
HB698: Representative Murray Oppose05:00:37.400 - 2:00:58 PM; Representative Murray made a motion to find HB698 inexpedient to legislate (ITL), arguing that the bill is unnecessary and could interfere with law enforcement's ability to execute their duties.
HB698: Representative Appr Oppose05:01:23.160 - 2:01:44 PM; Representative Appr seconded the motion to ITL HB698, agreeing with Representative Murray's assessment.
HB698: Representative Sabor D. Schan Information Only05:02:10.360 - 2:02:31 PM; Representative Sabor D. Schan expressed concerns about how HB698 could affect off-duty police officers responding to emergencies, suggesting a potential amendment to address these concerns.
HB698: Representative One Information Only05:02:57.000 - 2:03:18 PM; Representative One acknowledged the sponsor's intent behind HB698 but questioned the bill's approach to addressing the concerns raised. They expressed confidence in law enforcement leadership to handle any illegal actions by officers but were unsure how the bill could be effectively executed.
HB698: Representative Shear Oppose05:03:44.120 - 2:04:05 PM; Representative Shear criticized HB698 for being poorly written and unclear about its overlap with existing laws. They were unsure of the bill's purpose and whether it aimed to prevent off-duty officers or non-law enforcement individuals from impersonating officers.
HB698: Representative N Oppose05:04:30.718 - 2:04:51 PM; Representative N agreed with the criticism of HB698, noting its lack of clarity and the severity of the proposed Class B felony. They emphasized the need for clear legislation when holding individuals, especially law enforcement, accountable.
HB698: Representative Newman Information Only05:05:16.280 - 2:05:37 PM; Representative Newman pointed out that HB698 would not apply to individuals who do not own an official uniform, suggesting that the bill would not address the issue of impersonation by those without uniforms.
HB698: Representative Murray Information Only05:06:04.920 - 2:06:25 PM; Representative Murray expressed concerns about the legislation's focus on a one-off incident, suggesting that such specific cases should not drive legislative action. They highlighted the potential jurisdictional issues with compelling the FBI to respond to inquiries, and questioned whether law enforcement should be held accountable for actions outside their purview. Murray also noted that a class B felony might be an excessive penalty and advocated for internal policies within law enforcement agencies to handle such situations. They mentioned another bill to be discussed the following week that might address similar issues and concluded that the current legislation would not effectively address the injustice it was intended to rectify.
HB640: Representative Sabor Schwaner Support05:30:46.480 - 2:31:07 PM; Representative Sabor Schwaner introduced House Bill 640, emphasizing its focus on federalism and transparency regarding federal agency operations within New Hampshire. They noted that the bill requests the Attorney General to collect data from federal agencies about their activities in the state. Sabor Schwaner acknowledged that the bill might be more suited for the State-Federal Relations Committee but proceeded with the presentation.
HB640: Representative Keith Aman, Hillsboro District 42, representing New Boston, Mount Vernon, and Lyndeborough Support05:32:38.360 - 2:32:59 PM; Representative Keith Aman detailed that House Bill 640 is similar to House Bill 1411 from 2022, which passed the House but not the Senate. He explained that the current bill requires the Attorney General to collect and publish data on federal agencies' activities in New Hampshire, aiming to improve transparency and public engagement. Aman addressed the fiscal note, questioning the need for three positions and $230,000 annually, suggesting it might be an overestimate. He concluded by urging support for the bill, emphasizing its alignment with New Hampshire's tradition of transparency.
HB640: William Foster, New Boston, former representative Support05:38:27.718 - 2:38:48 PM; William Foster, the former representative who wrote House Bill 1411, testified in support of House Bill 640. He explained his motivation stemmed from a desire for more centralized knowledge of federal operations within the state, which he found lacking during his time on the Foreign Relations and Veterans Affairs Committee. Foster highlighted the importance of transparency for building trust and enabling better state-level planning. He stressed that while the bill cannot force federal compliance, it represents a step towards increased transparency and better state-federal relations.
HB640: Unnamed Speaker Information Only05:44:27.878 - 2:44:48 PM; The speaker expressed concerns about the practicality of implementing the quarterly reporting requirement for data such as overdose rates, due to potential delays in data availability. They questioned the feedback received from the Senate regarding the new language of the bill and the feasibility of monthly reporting instead. The speaker highlighted the challenges in getting current data from federal agencies, suggesting that asking for past actions ('what did you do last quarter') would be more effective than requesting current activities, which could be used as an excuse by agencies to withhold information. They also discussed the lack of coordination between federal agencies and local law enforcement, noting that federal agencies are not required to inform local authorities about their operations within the state.
HB640: Unnamed Speaker Information Only05:47:15.920 - 2:47:36 PM; The speaker continued discussing the challenges of getting federal agencies to comply with the reporting requirements proposed in the bill. They suggested that if agencies do not respond, it would be a quick data point to enter, indicating non-compliance. The speaker was unsure about the exact number of agencies involved but mentioned there were over 70 with full-time armed agents capable of operating in New Hampshire without local notification. They proposed that the Attorney General's office should compile a list of these agencies and their activities, acknowledging that non-response from agencies would still provide valuable information. The speaker emphasized the need for a centralized point where state legislators could access information about federal activities within the state, calling the current lack of such a system 'ridiculous'.
