HB1622: Chair (unnamed) Information Only00:20:22.480 - 8:15:44 AM; The chair opens the subcommittee meeting on HB1622, apologizes for the delay due to road conditions, and invites discussion on Representative Gruber's draft amendment and Representative Germana's ideas, encouraging open conversation among the five members present.
HB1622: Representative Gruber Information Only00:21:31.200 - 8:16:53 AM; Representative Gruber presents a draft amendment to address concerns from the previous hearing, emphasizing prioritizing expansions near existing facilities over greenfield sites. He proposes assessing the six operating landfills first (North Country, Lebanon, Turnkey, Lower Mount Washington, Mount Carberry, Four Hills Secure Landfill, and potentially Bow coal ash landfill) using DES data to determine available capacity in volumetric terms. If this meets a 50-year threshold for New Hampshire-generated waste, no further action is needed; otherwise, proceed to phase two assessing closed landfills with liner systems. He suggests amending RSA 149-M:2 to declare preference for developing new capacity at or near existing landfills subject to siting criteria.
HB1622: Representative Germana Information Only00:25:47.200 - 8:21:09 AM; Representative Germana appreciates Gruber's work but notes potential issues if operators like Turnkey choose not to expand, removing viable sites. She advocates for a clear hierarchy: expansions where possible, then brownfield development, then greenfield, with applicants required to demonstrate they've ruled out higher priorities. She supports defining public benefit with a specific capacity threshold (e.g., 50 years) to simplify permit denials. She suggests incorporating Senate language from HB77 prioritizing expansions of permitted landfills over greenfields due to prior studies and DES familiarity.
HB1622: Representative Patenza Information Only00:30:08.000 - 8:25:30 AM; As a co-sponsor, Representative Patenza emphasizes the bill's intent to avoid excessive burdens on DES. He supports stating priorities upfront, creating an inventory of active and closed sites for a 'lay of the land' without mandating assessments of all 400+ sites. He favors prioritizing brownfields over greenfields, drawing from past legislation, and directing developers to consider suitable sites first without the department picking winners or losers.
HB1622: Representative Scully Information Only00:33:19.919 - 8:28:41 AM; Representative Scully supports developing a list of sites and stating a legislative preference for brownfields over greenfields but raises liability concerns for contamination at existing sites, suggesting protections for developers. He opposes section B of the bill as a 'poison pill' requiring applicants to prove no suitable land exists elsewhere, which is impossible and could preclude needed development; he recommends striking it and focusing on preferences and a list.
HB1622: Director Mike Whimsatt, DES Waste Management Division Information Only00:47:00.240 - 8:42:22 AM; Director Whimsatt provides input on Gruber's draft, noting it places preferences in RSA 149-M:2, which influences public benefit determinations under 149-M:11, giving DES a basis to consider hierarchy in permitting. He clarifies that most closed landfills lack modern liners or DES oversight, producing few viable sites from a full review. He suggests a manageable GIS-based review using criteria like setbacks, lot size, and floodplains to narrow options without site visits, followed by secondary tiers if needed. He supports assessing expansions at the six operating sites and notes challenges in assuming owner interest in development.
HB1622: Unnamed Representative (likely Chair) Information Only00:57:59.839 - 8:53:21 AM; The chair summarizes progress, agrees to remove problematic sections and add priorities, delegates Representatives Germana, Patenza, and Gruber to craft an amendment with Director Whimsatt's input, and asks Representative Germana to explain to the full committee. The meeting adjourns due to time constraints.
HB1086: Unnamed Speaker (likely Representative) Information Only01:24:05.840 - 9:19:27 AM; The speaker argues that the pesticide control board has authority over neonicotinoids, cautions against legislating science to the expert board, and compares it to past legislative overreach in hunting seasons or current use assessments. Farm Bureau supports restricting neonicotinoids to licensed applicators across applications, including seeds, emphasizing the board's role in evaluating impacts and alternatives.
HB1086: Unnamed Representative (likely Bixby) Information Only01:27:42.560 - 9:23:04 AM; The representative proposes an amendment to HB1431 directing the pesticide control board to examine neonicotinoids and produce a plan by a date certain to ensure action, rather than indefinite meetings.
HB1086: Unnamed Speaker (Farm Bureau representative) Information Only01:28:44.000 - 9:24:06 AM; The speaker supports categorizing neonicotinoids as restricted use, notes surprise among farmers that they are available to the general public, and highlights farmers' use in integrated pest management while valuing bees and applying responsibly on their own land.
HB1086: Director David Russo Information Only01:30:29.520 - 9:25:51 AM; Director Russo clarifies that EPA does not classify treated seeds as pesticides, but in New Hampshire, pesticide divisions oversee them. Use can be regulated via pesticide certificates, licenses, or permits under rules; sales fall under seed law (RSA 433) requiring licenses. Banning sales would require statute.
HB1086: Sarah Rocklage, TC Farm, Durham, NH Information Only01:32:55.120 - 9:28:17 AM; Fourth-generation farmer with a master's in microbiology. Discusses challenges in obtaining untreated seeds for sweet corn and vegetables, noting that most seeds are treated and untreated varieties are hard to find, potentially affecting crop yield. Explains seed coatings include pesticides, carriers, and antifungal compounds to prevent rot in wet spring conditions. Supports access to treated seeds for risk management and expresses interest in alternatives but notes supply chain limitations.
HB1086: Sai Robertson, farmer in Coos County Information Only01:32:55.120 - 9:28:17 AM; Fifth-generation dairy farmer raising corn for feed. Highlights the need for a wide variety of treated corn seed genetics for better digestibility and milk production in cows. Notes ordering untreated seeds requires advance planning (one to two years) due to treatment processes. Affirms soil health remains good with treated seeds, evidenced by worms, beetles, and successful beekeeping with 100% hive survival rate.
HB1086: Chris Brady, diversified farm in Coos County, Columbia, NH Support01:32:55.120 - 9:28:17 AM; Farmer growing grains (oats, soybeans, corn) and livestock. Strongly opposes banning neonicotinoids, likening it to theft of essential tools. Emphasizes treated seeds provide targeted insurance against insects, reducing potential crop loss (5-10%) and financial impact on large acreages. Compares to less targeted spraying methods like permethrin, which are more harmful. Notes low dose of neonics protects seeds without broad environmental damage.
HB1086: Representative Wheeler Oppose01:46:21.679 - 9:41:43 AM; Acknowledges farmers' concerns but supports restrictions on neonicotinoids, citing actions in 12 other states (e.g., limiting to licensed applicators or banning over-the-counter sales). References studies from Cornell and alternatives like diamide insecticides, organic methods, beneficial insects, crop rotation. Notes historical farming without neonics and local opposition from small farmers. Plans to vote against study committee amendment and support original bill.
HB1086: Representative Bixby Information Only01:50:17.760 - 9:45:39 AM; Supports study committee for HB1086 to examine neonicotinoids and alternatives, drawing from experiences in Quebec, New York, and Cornell. Notes lack of registered diamide treatments for sweet corn and supply chain issues with untreated hybrids. Prefers study to ensure environmental alternatives are viable without harming farms.
HB1086: Representative Aaron (Chair) Information Only01:51:28.239 - 9:46:50 AM; Proposes amendment for HB1086 to form a study committee on neonicotinoids and alternatives, refining duties and reducing Senate members to one. Suggests working with Representative Comto for precision.
HB1086: Representative McDonald (implied) Information Only01:52:30.800 - 9:47:52 AM; Original amendment incorporates laundry list for Pesticide Control Board (PCB) to examine reclassification of neonicotinoids as restricted use, including rules on application, exemptions, and notifications to apiaries.
HB1086: Representative Scully Information Only01:57:46.000 - 9:53:08 AM; Favors concise amendment version directing PCB to study and act by January 1, 2027, without detailed provisions to ease passage and allow professionals to address all issues.
HB1086: Representative Patenza Support02:03:03.280 - 9:58:25 AM; Prefers detailed amendment version to set clear guidelines and policy, especially for non-forestry, landscape, lawn, and turf uses, allowing tweaks but providing structure.
HB1086: Representative Barber Information Only02:04:14.480 - 9:59:36 AM; Seeks clarification on amendment language requiring PCB to make rules; notes flexibility if study finds no need.
HB1086: Representative Howard Support02:06:18.000 - 10:01:40 AM; Supports longer amendment to build on work by Representative McDonald and constituents, serving as a starting primer for PCB.
HB1621: Representative German Information Only02:08:07.440 - 10:03:29 AM; Reports on subcommittee progress: Amendment to prioritize expansions and brownfield development over greenfield sites in DES applications. Second part requires DES to use GIS for preliminary screening to limit sites based on factors like proximity to water or airports, reducing viable options dramatically.
HB1621: Representative Haskins Information Only02:10:13.599 - 10:05:35 AM; Agrees to eliminate unworkable section requiring developers to prove no cataloged sites suitable. Discusses requiring developers to demonstrate consideration of alternatives and establishing preferences (e.g., expansions over greenfields) to manage competing applications and capacity needs.
HB1274: Representative Bixby Information Only02:13:19.199 - 10:08:41 AM; Explains bills HB1274 and HB1153 correct inadvertent fee changes from last term. Supports advancing HB1274 for fee fix and amending HB1153 to study committee for reorganizing dog/cat statutes to clarify haphazard structure, remove outdated language (e.g., superseded kennel laws).
HB1274: Representative Scully Oppose02:21:55.120 - 10:17:17 AM; Philosophically opposes raising fees, preferring to leave money with owners; votes against increase.
HB1153: Representative Bixby Information Only02:13:19.199 - 10:08:41 AM; Proposes amendment to turn HB1153 into study committee for cleaning up dog/cat chapter without policy changes, based on past successful studies.
HB1602: Representative Eel, Merrimack District 7 Support02:24:31.359 - 10:19:53 AM; Provides letters from WindWaste and Fire Marshal. Emphasizes national security and strategic supply chain importance of recycling batteries for critical minerals (e.g., cobalt, nickel, lithium) to reduce dependence on China (US holds <1% reserves). Notes mining is less efficient/expensive than recycling; programs keep materials domestic. Shares import data showing billions in lithium batteries. Clarifies participation open to all, not just PRBA members. Presents amendment: Removes outdated medium battery references; specifies stewardship plan details (weight by chemistry, recovered materials, accessibility, efficiency). Addresses independent collectors and ensures recycling stays domestic.
HB1602: Representative Freeman (implied) Information Only02:34:04.560 - 10:29:26 AM; Suggests committee members work with Representative Eel on drafted amendment form.
HB1789: Representative Aaron (Chair) Oppose02:36:06.399 - 10:31:28 AM; Recommends ITL (Inexpedient to Legislate) as bill is too broad, attempting to address everything at once.
HB1789: Representative Bixby Information Only02:37:11.439 - 10:32:33 AM; Suggests interim study to develop better plan, reviewing existing models for targeted EPR legislation.
HB1789: Representative Freeman Information Only02:38:16.880 - 10:33:38 AM; Questions if studies can be done independently without formal committees, noting 600 existing House study committees and recruitment difficulties.
HB1789: Representative German Support02:40:33.920 - 10:35:55 AM; Supports interim study to build consensus on effective, targeted EPR approaches, considering antitrust issues and coordination with Commerce Committee.
HB1511: Representative Liz Barber, Hollis District 35 Support02:48:21.520 - 10:43:43 AM; Representative Barber introduced the bill as a technical cleanup to align RSA 425:25 with current reality. The bill removes the reference to the dissolved Granite State Dairy Promotion from the membership list of the Agriculture in the Classroom Committee, preventing an unfillable gubernatorial appointment. It also corrects a scrivener's error in the reporting section, replacing 'commissioner' with 'committee' to clarify responsibility for the annual report. The bill does not alter the committee's mission, authority, or structure, which focuses on educating K-12 students about agriculture through interdisciplinary learning supported by agricultural organizations. She deferred any implementation questions to the Department of Agriculture.
HB1511: Rob Johnson, New Hampshire Farm Bureau Federation's Policy Director Support02:51:23.920 - 10:46:45 AM; Johnson supported the bill's cleanup of removing the defunct Granite State Dairy Promotion reference. However, he requested a small amendment to add a dedicated dairy representative to the committee, noting that New Hampshire agriculture is one-third dairy. The Farm Bureau houses and administers the organization, providing funding and historically fully supporting it from the late 1980s to 2009. He suggested language to add either two members from the Farm Bureau with one representing dairy farmers or simply a dairy farmer, both appointed by the governor. The committee agreed to work on an amendment for a dairy representative without specifying the Farm Bureau for flexibility.
HB1053: Representative Peter Bixby, Dover, Strafford 13 Support02:55:04.640 - 10:50:26 AM; Representative Bixby introduced HB1053 as a continuation of efforts to enable electronic submissions for department tasks, reducing staff time on manual entry. Building on a prior bill for electronic fertilizer registrations, now in final deployment, this bill addresses pesticide applicator reports currently submitted on paper annually or quarterly. He proposed a study committee to determine if online submission should be mandatory or optional and if it could include automatic notifications of intent to spray, potentially meshing with other legislation like NEOIC for beekeepers. The study ensures stakeholder input to avoid issues, such as for older or less tech-savvy farmers.
HB1053: David Russo, New Hampshire Division of Pesticide Control, Department of Agriculture Support03:02:07.760 - 10:57:29 AM; Russo thanked Representative Bixby for his involvement in electronic initiatives, noting the department's progress across divisions to reduce paper use. He explained the annual use report requires details on pesticides used, amounts, locations, dates, and names from licensed applicators, currently accepted electronically but manually entered into the database. An online database would be helpful, with workable solutions for those preferring paper, considering age or cultural factors. The department is developing this with a vendor, aiming for readiness by December 1, 2026. He was unclear on the notification intent but provided a letter. He supported electronic reporting but questioned the need for a study on that aspect, suggesting it might be unnecessary as they are already advancing.
HB1053: Representative Howard Information Only03:00:09.359 - 10:55:31 AM; Representative Howard asked if partial, non-required electronic submission would create incomplete records and be useful, to which Bixby responded it would still be better than full paper processing but reduce cost savings.
HB1053: Representative German Support03:01:14.960 - 10:56:36 AM; Representative German praised the idea and asked about potential issues for older reporters without tech capacity. Bixby noted this as a reason for the study committee to gather stakeholder feedback early.
HB1053: Representative Scully Information Only03:01:14.960 - 10:56:36 AM; Representative Scully asked about the cost of paper compliance to the state, and Bixby deferred to department directors.
HB1053: Representative King Information Only03:04:49.439 - 11:00:11 AM; Representative King noted the department is already addressing electronic applications and appreciates options for non-tech users, questioning if the study committee is unnecessary given progress.
HB1053: Representative Compton Support03:05:45.760 - 11:01:07 AM; Representative Compton emphasized privacy protections for pesticide data similar to pet vendors, crucial for farmers who are targeted, and asked for the department's stance. Russo agreed agricultural use information warrants protection, noting some states exempt farmer notifications.
HB1053: Representative Bixby (response) Information Only03:09:00.000 - 11:04:22 AM; In response to privacy, Bixby suggested discussing in a worksheet; to amending for privacy in statute, he agreed to discuss; to making it mandatory via amendment, he said it could be discussed.
HB1053: Representative Patenaude Support03:09:00.000 - 11:04:22 AM; Representative Patenaude suggested amending the bill to include privacy in statute rather than rules.
HB1780 2026-0279h: Representative Barbara Comtois, Belknap 7 (Barnstead and Alton) Support04:07:17.040 - 12:02:39 PM; Representative Comtois introduced HB1780 to increase penalties for violations in seed, plant, and nursery stock sales, with an amendment removing seed potatoes at the department's request. The bill addresses box stores selling expired seeds despite fines, as germination rates decline post-expiration (e.g., from 96% to lower). It adds penalties for habitual violators: 6-month sales cessation at the violation location, escalating to 1 year for repeat offenses within that period. The focus is consumer protection against bad actors selling non-germinating products.
HB1780 2026-0279h: Al Wyman, Department of Agriculture, Markets and Food, Division of Regulatory Services, Seed Control Official Support04:14:41.760 - 12:10:03 PM; Wyman supported the bill and provided context on increased seed enforcement since 2019, revealing New Hampshire as a dumping ground for expired grass seed with thousands of violations. Initial efforts involved educating retailers, cleaning shelves, and issuing warnings, but repeat violations persisted despite notices and low initial penalties. Fines (up to half a million annually) failed to deter, leading to breached settlement agreements. The bill provides a needed additional lever for compliance after exhausting others. Habitual violations would be determined after multiple seasons of non-compliance. He noted seed is a living organism with reduced germination in New England's variable conditions, making post-expiration sales risky. The department lacks seed potato inspection capacity, justifying its removal. Defining 'habitual' in rules via stakeholder input is preferable for flexibility and national alignment.
HB1780 2026-0279h: Tom Parsell, New Hampshire Retail Association Oppose04:38:09.520 - 12:33:31 PM; Parsell testified on behalf of retailers, disputing claims that they prefer paying fines over compliance, emphasizing retailers aim for good products and partnerships. He noted New Hampshire's seed laws, particularly relabeling restrictions, are out of step with national norms, potentially complicating commerce. He expressed concerns about the vague 'habitual violator' definition, which could unfairly impact small stores (e.g., an employee restocking expired seed leading to 6-month bans). He preferred statutory guardrails over rules to retain legislative authority, though understanding the rules process.
HB1780 2026-0280h: Representative Barbara Comto, Belknap 7 (Barnstead and Alton) Support04:43:34.480 - 12:38:56 PM; Representative Comto introduces amendment 2026-0280h, which removes section two from the original bill to make it a definition-only bill. She explains the need to define biostimulants, plant regulators, vitamin hormone products, and nutritional chemicals, as there is currently no statutory definition. These definitions are drawn from a federal bill in progress. She opens for questions, noting discussions with the Department of Agriculture.
HB1780 2026-0280h: Alan Wyman, Department of Agriculture, Markets, and Food, Division of Regulatory Services, Fertilizer Control Official Oppose04:45:46.240 - 12:41:08 PM; Wyman expresses respect for the bill's author but opposes the bill due to the need for national consistency in definitions and regulation of biostimulants. He highlights risks from unregulated microbes in products, ongoing national efforts by AAFCO to develop uniform definitions and a beneficial substances bill, and the challenges of analytical chemistry for verification. He recommends adopting AAFCO's model for uniformity, prefers rules over statutes for flexibility, and notes New Hampshire's current system limitations. He provides documents and answers questions on federal bills, enforcement, and integration with existing definitions.
HB1780 2026-0280h: Rob Johnson, New Hampshire Farm Bureau, Policy Director Oppose05:05:06.798 - 1:00:28 PM; Johnson opposes the bill, explaining it arose from fall discussions but faced opposition from policy committees. He cites three reasons: it imposes regulations overlapping FDA's role without federal definitions, potentially limiting product availability to growers; no current problems or needs addressed in New Hampshire; and strains department resources better used for fertilizer testing. He gives examples of biostimulants like seaweed and fish emulsion, and confirms no complaints about products not meeting claims.
HB1621: Representative Germana Information Only05:25:11.200 - 1:20:33 PM; Germana presents a proposed amendment focusing on materials used rather than facility size, referencing RSAs for regulated substances like oil, underground storage, hazardous waste, brownfields, solid waste, and air pollutants. He removes light pollution due to complexity, changes study frequency to every 10 years or on operational changes, clarifies local jurisdiction for permits, and ensures DES recordkeeping without determination authority. He emphasizes local control, reduced fiscal impact, and applicant-funded studies to minimize costs.
HB1621: Representative Christine Perez, Londonderry Support05:53:12.000 - 1:48:34 PM; Perez supports the amendment and opposes size thresholds, citing examples like a small dry cleaning facility causing contamination. She stresses unregulated storage risks, New Hampshire's water issues (over 40% on wells), superfund sites, and past polluters like St. Gobain. She argues reputable companies would comply, preventing cut-and-run polluters, and urges accountability for future generations.
HB1621: Jeff Martz, New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services Information Only05:56:39.520 - 1:52:01 PM; Martz discusses challenges in setting size thresholds, noting small facilities like dry cleaners can cause significant contamination. He confirms the amendment reduces DES workload but requires review for fiscal note changes. He notes the broad scope of regulated chemicals (hundreds, including cleaning agents like acetone), potentially affecting many businesses, but qualifiers like 'industrial scale' limit it. He agrees location sensitivity (e.g., aquifers) matters and suggests cumulative impacts are covered. He offers to estimate study costs for applicants.
HB1621: Committee Discussion (Representatives Bixby, Scully, Wheeler, etc.) Information Only05:23:44.240 - 1:19:06 PM; The subcommittee discusses clarifying RSA references for local building permits, business scope (focusing on industrial-scale with regulated substances, excluding small or incidental uses like a fencing club), self-storage inclusion, fiscal impacts, de minimis concerns, enforcement via local processes, study contents (alternatives, mitigation), costs, and benefits for public awareness and negotiation. They emphasize local control, consistency with NEPA-style studies, and preventing past environmental damages without overly burdening small operations.
HB1621: DJ Burke, Business and Industry Association Information Only06:13:48.160 - 2:09:10 PM; DJ Burke represents the Business and Industry Association, State Chamber of Commerce, and Manufacturing Association. He thanks the representatives for addressing previous concerns through amendments but notes he has had limited time to review them. He questions the necessity of the bill, explaining that phase one Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) are already standard practice in the private sector, particularly for manufacturing facilities, due to federal liability under CERCLA. He argues the bill seems to recreate a phase one ESA without clear additional benefits, and raises concerns about unclear terms, broad definitions (e.g., storage facilities without size limits), and the lack of state-level enforcement, leaving liability federal. He emphasizes that the bill could apply to small businesses like retailers or woodworking shops, potentially imposing high costs (e.g., $30,000-$40,000 for studies), which might impede small business growth. He clarifies the BIA is not advocating for polluters but seeks clarity on scope and standards, noting the need for DES to develop new criteria, credentialing, and training, adding bureaucracy and costs.
HB1621: Sean Thomas, Self-Storage Association Oppose06:36:02.558 - 2:31:24 PM; Sean Thomas represents the Self-Storage Association and addresses the definition of 'storage facility' in the bill, specifically the inclusion of self-storage units. He argues that self-storage is a passive land use with no industrial activity or process impacts, differing from the bill's intent for industrial or manufacturing storage. He notes that the substances listed in the amendment (hazardous chemicals regulated by statutes) are not stored or used in self-storage facilities. He supports striking 'self-storage' from the definition but recommends adding explicit language stating the definition 'does not include' or 'shall not include' self-storage facilities for absolute clarity, avoiding broad interpretation that could still encompass them. He confirms that self-storage contracts prohibit clients from storing hazardous substances, making environmental risks minimal.
