Unclear 05:27:12.958 - 2:22:34 PM	General Working Session	Unclear

HB1162: Lauren Celig, Representative from Durham Support00:05:40.320 - 9:01:02 AM; Representative Celig introduced HB1162, expressing honor in serving on the Holocaust and Genocide Education Commission alongside Representative Leyon. She described the commission's ongoing work to revamp educational offerings for teachers, including evaluating past efforts, gathering survey results, and developing new programming. She requested a three-year extension to complete this work.
HB1162: Matt Saborn Dwanier, State Representative Support00:06:38.960 - 9:02:00 AM; Representative Saborn Dwanier introduced an amendment to HB1162 to extend the commission to 2029 and add a member from the Bradley Smith 2014 Charitable Trust, also known as the Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust (CODOH). He shared a personal experience visiting Dachau concentration camp, where he learned it had no active homicidal gas chamber, leading to his revisionist views. He emphasized the importance of accurate Holocaust education, promoted CODOH's research and books as separating truth from fiction, and urged support for the amendment to uphold academic freedom and scientific inquiry.
HB1162: Henry Herskovitz, retired mechanical engineer from Ann Arbor, Michigan Support00:11:25.120 - 9:06:47 AM; Herskovitz spoke in support of the amendment to HB1162, criticizing Holocaust revisionism skeptics and using the fraudulent testimony of Herman Rosenblat in 'Angel at the Fence' as an example of unreliable eyewitness accounts. He noted the story's exposure by revisionists and scholars like Deborah Lipstadt, and referenced other debunked testimonies from the Ernst Zündel trial. He urged including CODOH voices to present both sides of history to New Hampshire students.
HB1162: Germar Rudolf, PhD scientist and manager of the Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust Support00:15:39.760 - 9:11:01 AM; Rudolf, with 35 years of research, promoted his publications including the Holocaust Handbooks series and an encyclopedia. He compared revisionist works to mainstream ones, highlighting reductions in death toll claims and discarded gas chamber narratives at camps like Majdanek and Auschwitz by mainstream scholars. He discussed legal restrictions on Holocaust narratives in various countries, offered his expertise for the commission, and advocated adding a CODOH member to provide balanced, courageous insights for students.
HB1162: David Scurbina, PhD in humanities from Michigan Support00:20:24.400 - 9:15:46 AM; Scurbina supported the amendment to HB1162, emphasizing critical thinking and viewpoint diversity in education. He argued for examining all sides of the Holocaust to identify exaggerations and errors, critiquing the 6 million death figure's origins in pre-WWII news, lack of detailed breakdowns, inconsistencies in eyewitness accounts, and variations in expert estimates. He urged adding a CODOH representative to challenge conventional views and ensure scientific evidence-based curriculum.
HB1585: Representative Sli Information Only00:26:05.279 - 9:21:27 AM; Representative Sli introduces HB1585 on behalf of Representative Aman, explaining it relates to environmental social governance (ESG) related investment strategies. She notes her limited understanding and anticipates more informative testimony to follow.
HB1585: Cameron Schulty, Executive Director, Heartland Impact Support00:26:57.120 - 9:22:19 AM; Schulty supports HB1585, arguing it requires fiduciaries to consider only financial factors in investments, excluding ESG objectives, aligning with traditional fiduciary duty to ensure retirement security. He highlights New Hampshire's $2.46 billion investment in BlackRock funds and the need for financial discipline. He also addresses proxy voting, noting firms like ISS and Glass Lewis push ESG agendas that could lower returns, and the bill ensures accountability.
HB1585: Andrew Kier, Series Oppose00:32:54.720 - 9:28:16 AM; Kier opposes HB1585, stating it creates burdensome processes for fiduciaries by requiring documented evidence for ESG considerations, potentially harming investment returns. He provides examples like wildfire mitigation, workforce management, and accounting standards as legitimate financial factors under ESG. He cites fiscal analyses from Indiana and Kansas showing billions in reduced returns, urging the committee to consider impacts on New Hampshire's retirement system.
HB1585: Nate Graves, Business Industry Association Oppose00:37:32.079 - 9:32:54 AM; Graves opposes the bill, emphasizing existing fiduciary duties require decisions in beneficiaries' best interests. He explains NHRS's 6.7% return goal and how lower returns increase local contributions and property taxes. The bill would add administrative costs and risks, restrict investment choices, and undermine fiduciary duties, ultimately harming retirees and increasing taxes.
HB1585: Sal Nuzo, Executive Director, Consumers Defense Support00:45:43.839 - 9:41:05 AM; Nuzo supports HB1585 as a transparency measure for the retirement system, requiring financial returns as the sole consideration and documentation for decisions. He argues it codifies public expectations for pension security and reforms proxy advising by dominant firms like ISS and Glass Lewis, which lack financial analysis standardization. The bill prevents speculation disguised as investing and ensures decisions benefit beneficiaries financially.
HB1024: Representative Tony Kaplan, Merrimack 8 Support00:52:36.160 - 9:47:58 AM; Kaplan introduces HB1024 to prohibit NHRS investments in businesses owned by a sitting president or family, protecting fiduciary standards amid extraordinary presidential powers and potential conflicts. He details NHRS's role, funding status, and governance policies against conflicts. The bill addresses the current president's wealth growth and ethical risks, ensuring high standards without impeding returns, applicable universally.
HB1024: Representative Heath Howard, Strafford District 4 Support01:02:00.960 - 9:57:22 AM; Howard supports HB1024 to prevent even the appearance of corruption by prohibiting investments in businesses connected to a sitting president or family. It ensures decisions are based on financial merit, free from political pressure, eroding public trust otherwise. The bill is non-partisan, establishing neutral guardrails for transparency and ethics, safeguarding retirees and institutions.
HB1024: Representative Chris Muns, Rockingham District 29, Hampton Support01:04:45.920 - 10:00:07 AM; Representative Muns, a co-sponsor of HB 1024, testified in support of the bill, emphasizing the fiduciary duty of the New Hampshire Retirement System trustees to invest prudently for the benefit of members, retirees, and beneficiaries without outside influence. He highlighted the need for safeguards against political interference, particularly from elected leaders. However, he noted the bill's wording is too broad, potentially restricting investments in companies with minor presidential family ownership, and too narrow, applying only to the president and immediate family. He suggested an amendment to limit investments where officials (including vice president, senators, representatives, governor, executive council, and general court members) or their families hold greater than 10% ownership, and offered copies of his testimony.
HB1443 amendment clarifying language: Representative Saburan Desaneire, prime sponsor Support01:15:37.600 - 10:10:59 AM; Representative Desaneire introduced HB 1443, aimed at aiding affordability for veteran retirees by allowing those with VA disability benefits to decline personal state retiree health coverage while still providing it for their spouse, avoiding duplicate costs. He explained that current law requires both employee and spouse to enroll, costing $33.28 monthly for non-Medicare plans, and noted the amendment clarifies this for veterans with 20+ years of service who wish to rely on VA benefits.
HB1443 amendment clarifying language: Representative Sait (committee member) Information Only01:17:26.159 - 10:12:48 AM; Representative Sait sought clarification on the bill's language, confirming it changes 'and' to 'or' for employee or spouse benefits. He discussed reviewing the fiscal note for ambiguity and working with the sponsor on the amendment to narrow it to veterans with VA benefits, apologizing for any process confusion and explaining the committee's typical amendment procedures.
HB1443 amendment clarifying language: Representative R. (committee member) Information Only01:18:29.199 - 10:13:51 AM; Representative R. asked clarifying questions about the bill's impact on pre-Medicare eligible retirees, confirming that employees can refuse personal coverage but spouses remain eligible. He inquired if the bill applies only to pre-Medicare and noted the language specifies Medicare eligible, seeking the sponsor's intent to ensure accuracy.
HB1443 amendment clarifying language: Representative Saburan Desaneire (responding) Support01:19:26.800 - 10:14:48 AM; In response to questions, Representative Desaneire affirmed the intent is for pre-Medicare retirees with VA benefits to save money and provide flexibility, emphasizing earned benefits for service without forcing duplicates, potentially saving the state money long-term.
HB1170: Representative Jeremy Slotchi, Hudson Information Only01:34:58.960 - 10:30:20 AM; Representative Slotchi introduced HB 1170 on behalf of the absent prime sponsor and co-sponsor, describing it as providing supplemental retirement allowances to certain group two retirees and beneficiaries, funded by the state general fund and added to their base annuity with appropriations. He stated he was simply introducing and open to questions.
HB1170: Arthur Bodri, President, New Hampshire State Permanent Firefighters Retirement Association, retired captain from Manchester Fire Department Support01:36:30.639 - 10:31:52 AM; Arthur Bodri supported HB 1170, which grants COLAs to senior group two retirees (police and firefighters) retired over 10-20 years. He provided historical context on COLAs from 1967-2012, noting the elimination of the special account transferred $637 million, precluding further COLAs without legislation. Since 2010, only a 1.5% COLA capped at $50,000 was granted, while CPI-U rose 30.9% in 10 years and 51.3% in 20 years, eroding 45% of buying power. Group two members lack Social Security, relying solely on NHRS. Using handouts, he illustrated a $30,000 pension gaining only $1,993 over 20 years versus $49,564 if CPI-based, and compared to Social Security's 52.3% increase. A NASRA report showed a $2,000 pension deflating to $993 without COLA. He urged support to counter inflation's impact on public safety retirees.
HB1170: Representative Schmidt (committee member) Information Only01:42:12.960 - 10:37:34 AM; Representative Schmidt questioned the fiscal impact, noting a 1% COLA costs around $50 million, and asked about costs for this bill. Bodri responded no fiscal note exists but the bill is cheaper than last year's version ($500/year for first 10 years, 10% for 10-20 years). Schmidt asked if Bodri would attend a subcommittee; Bodri agreed.
HB1170: Representative Pearson (committee member) Information Only01:43:15.600 - 10:38:37 AM; Representative Pearson confirmed New Hampshire is the only New England state without an automatic COLA formula, as stated in the NASRA report.
HB1170: Tyler Goa, Director of Government and Political Affairs, Professional Firefighters of New Hampshire Support01:43:15.600 - 10:38:37 AM; Tyler Goa supported HB 1170 for retired group two members (firefighters, police) to keep up with living costs after service. He noted NHRS benefits the economy, generating $6 per employer dollar invested, with retirees spending locally and paying over $200 million in taxes annually. Average benefits are $22,000-$25,000, insufficient against rising inflation in housing, healthcare, and groceries. The bill is fiscally responsible, funded by the general fund without raising contributions, continuing bipartisan efforts for public safety retiree security. He urged an Ought to Pass recommendation.
HB1170: Unidentified committee member (Chair?) Information Only01:47:18.480 - 10:42:40 AM; The chair questioned if the $5,000 stipend for those retired 10+ years represents a 20% increase on $25,000 pensions or more on lower ones, clarifying the fixed amount approach versus percentage COLA. Goa affirmed retirees would accept it as a step forward, though not as good as annual increases.
HB1471: Representative Charlie Foot Support03:05:24.560 - 12:00:46 PM; Representative Foot introduced House Bill 1471, describing it as a housekeeping measure to update the calculation of average final compensation for group two retirement system members who began service before July 1, 2011, and were not vested by January 1, 2012. He explained that it aligns the formula with changes adopted in HB2 from 2025, cleaning up overlooked wording from that bill. He noted that the retirement board could provide more details.
HB1471: Representative Dan Magcguire, Epsom Oppose03:08:11.040 - 12:03:33 PM; Representative Magcguire opposed HB1471, arguing that it removes a key limitation on pension calculations that prevents 'spiking'—artificially boosting pensions through overtime in the final years. He provided an example comparing a police officer and a corrections officer with similar careers but different overtime patterns, illustrating how the current language ensures pensions reflect career-long base pay averages rather than end-of-career spikes. He contended that the proposed change could lead to overpayments costing hundreds of millions, and criticized the new language as ineffective.
HB1471: Annie Gregori, New Hampshire Retirement System Information Only03:16:06.479 - 12:11:28 PM; Annie Gregori from the NH Retirement System testified to clarify the bill's intent to remove ambiguity in legislation enhancing benefits for a 'missing middle' group of about 1,700 group two (Tier B+) members who were close to vesting before 2011 changes. She explained that average final compensation remains based on the high five years, with additions to base compensation definitions and separation of extra duty pay to prevent spiking. They prepared a fiscal note and offered to review it further or meet with the committee, noting they can administer without the change but support clearing ambiguities.
HB1471: Committee Chair Vote03:21:27.279 - 12:16:49 PM; The committee opened an executive session on HB1471 and unanimously voted to request a fiscal note from the retirement system, with no opposition. The session was closed after the vote.
HB1439: Representative John McDonald, Wolfborough, NH Support03:25:39.200 - 12:21:01 PM; Representative McDonald, a retired Group II member from the state police, testified in support of HB1439. He explained that the bill corrects an unreasonable situation where retirees who change part-time employers are punished by reduced allowable hours. He highlighted a case where someone moving between police departments had their hours cut, and emphasized that the bill provides the retirement board flexibility to differentiate penalties based on the extent of overage, rather than treating minor and major violations equally. He also mentioned an amendment he presented, allowing retirees with pending proceedings to request application of the new law within 30 days of its effective date.
HB1439: Karen Jones, Moultonborough, NH Support03:30:11.840 - 12:25:33 PM; Karen Jones, a retired communication specialist with 43 years in law enforcement, testified in support of HB1439. She described retiring in 2017 with approval for 32 part-time hours at Moultonborough Police Department. Upon switching to the New Hampshire State Police due to internal issues, she was unaware of a 2019 grandfather clause reducing her allowable hours to 26 upon changing employers. She worked 29.5 hours, resulting in a 112-hour overage over a year, earning $3,643 extra but facing a $11,000 penalty from the retirement system. She advocated for the board to assess penalties based on overage amount, employee knowledge, and circumstances, arguing the current penalty is disproportionate.
HB1459: Representative John McDonald, Wolfborough, NH Support03:45:24.319 - 12:40:46 PM; Representative McDonald testified again in support of HB1459, describing it as a follow-up to HB1439. He argued it's unfair for retirees to have their allowable part-time hours reduced when switching employers doing the same job, using Karen Jones' case as an example where she went from 32 to 26 hours. He stressed that retirement benefits should be fixed at the time of retirement and changing jobs shouldn't diminish them, as it doesn't cost the state extra but deprives the retiree of income without adding to the retirement system.
HB1459: Karen Jones, Moultonborough, NH Support03:48:06.239 - 12:43:28 PM; Karen Jones reiterated her support for HB1459, noting she retired in 2017 with 32 hours allowance, adhered to it at Moultonborough PD, but upon switching to State Police, a grandfather clause reduced it to 26 hours, which she was unaware of. She emphasized that earned retirement benefits should not change retroactively, and new entrants should be informed of rules, but existing benefits must remain intact. She clarified she adjusted to 29.5 hours due to state limits, not retirement rules, and the reduction came later upon discovery of the employer change.
HB1014: Representative Peter Patrino, Milford, NH Support04:05:21.840 - 1:00:43 PM; Representative Patrino introduced HB1014, a resubmitted bill from 2019 aimed at exempting retirement applicants from the 28-day waiting period if they are already concurrently employed part-time by a different employer. He shared the story of a constituent, a high school custodian in Milford who also works part-time in a neighboring town, facing the risk of losing his part-time job due to the mandatory leave. He emphasized that this is not about double-dipping but an unintended consequence for those with long-standing dual employment. Patrino recounted his own experience as a teacher and adjunct professor, noting he could have been affected similarly. After seven years, the constituent still works both jobs out of fear. He requested the committee recommend ought to pass, addressing questions on the law's origins to prevent double-dipping and federal implications.
HB1014: Representative Sers Information Only04:08:40.640 - 1:04:02 PM; Asked Representative Patrino why the initial 28-day law exists.
HB1014: Representative Pearson Information Only04:09:44.960 - 1:05:06 PM; Inquired about research into IRS implications and historical context of the 28-day period relative to federal restrictions, noting it stems from federal law.
HB1014: Representative Scitec Information Only04:11:41.439 - 1:07:03 PM; Questioned the relevance of concurrent employment to the waiting period, clarifying the distinction between seeking new part-time work versus maintaining existing dual roles.
HB1014: Representative Rang Information Only04:13:30.239 - 1:08:52 PM; Expressed curiosity about federal implications and requested input from the New Hampshire Retirement Board.
HB1527: Representative Heath Howard Support04:55:01.680 - 1:50:23 PM; Representative Howard introduced HB1527, inspired by a conversation with the Strafford County Sheriff about underused mental health services among officers. The bill proposes a standard digital template from the Department of Administrative Services for annual reminders of state employee benefits, including retirement, health insurance, and mental health checkups, to be emailed by departments. It could be available for municipalities and counties optionally. He noted an amendment to clarify digital delivery and avoid the $100,000 fiscal note assuming physical mailings. The goal is to ensure efficient use of funded benefits, reduce taxpayer costs from underutilization, and improve retention. He addressed questions on existing mechanisms, HR support, and data on underuse, emphasizing anecdotal evidence of unawareness and openness to amendments.
HB1527: Representative Gro Information Only04:58:07.840 - 1:53:29 PM; Asked if there are existing reminders for benefits like vacation or sick days and if the Department of Administration was consulted.
HB1527: Representative Pearson Information Only04:59:20.958 - 1:54:42 PM; Questioned if current HR mechanisms exist for benefit inquiries and raised concerns about the bill targeting state agencies despite the sheriff's anecdote, suggesting better executive communication instead. Sought data on underutilization reasons and a case study with Strafford County.
HB1727: Representative Jackie Groda, Rockingham District 24 (Rye and Greenland), for Representative Mike Bordis Support05:09:48.638 - 2:05:10 PM; Representative Groda introduced HB1727 on behalf of absent sponsor Representative Bordis. The bill addresses 4,600 children eligible for free/reduced-price school meals but not captured in DHS systems due to privacy statutes preventing address sharing between Education and DHS. This gap requires manual applications, risking missed summer EBT benefits. The bill enables secure, temporary data sharing for mailing EBT cards, saving administrative costs and securing $5.2 million in federal funds. It includes strict privacy protections, expiring after use with data deletion.
HB1727: Laura Miliken, Executive Director, New Hampshire Hunger Solutions Support05:14:40.240 - 2:10:02 PM; Laura Miliken testified in support, calling it a common-sense fix for a technical glitch affecting thousands of children. She explained the data matching limitations: Education provides names but not addresses, leading to low portal usage (only 60 of 4,600 applied in 2024). Cited Somersworth example: 135 of 450 eligible students missed benefits. Summer EBT, federally funded with shared admin costs, replaces school meals to combat summer hunger. The bill allows limited sharing to ensure automatic benefits without broad privacy breaches.
HB1727: Representative Pearson Information Only05:18:03.760 - 2:13:25 PM; Asked if summer EBT is entirely federally funded or involves state dollars.
HB1727: Witness from DOE Support05:19:22.080 - 2:14:44 PM; The witness explains that eligible children are falling through gaps due to data sharing issues. They hope for administrative cost savings through automatic data sharing between agencies, reducing the need for paper applications. They defer to DHS experts on state data systems.
HB1727: Representative Brown Information Only05:20:23.280 - 2:15:45 PM; Representative Brown asks about potential administrative cost savings from efficient data sharing. The witness expresses hope for savings but defers to DHS. Representative Brown suggests moving to executive session to request a fiscal note to assess if it's a savings or cost.
HB1727: Representative Dory Information Only05:20:23.280 - 2:15:45 PM; Representative Dory notes the administrative problem of notifying parents through students and the limitations of outreach without funding. Organizations like theirs can use social media, but direct certification is key for immediate eligibility, similar to SNAP, TANF, and Medicaid. Adding data sharing via memorandums of understanding should not add much work.
HB1727: Representative Sellers Information Only05:22:05.040 - 2:17:27 PM; Representative Sellers confirms that the families in question are enrolled in free and reduced meals but not on SNAP, so not known to DHS. They ask about security concerns in data transfer, worrying parents might not want school data shared with HHS.
HB1727: Witness from DOE Information Only05:22:05.040 - 2:17:27 PM; The witness clarifies the bill is only for data sharing for summer EBT, not SNAP enrollment. DHS sends a separate EBT card for summer EBT. They note existing information sharing for free and reduced meals verification, but addresses are not shared, requiring families to use a portal. There are many data sharing agreements in state government. Consent can be added via a checkbox on the annual free and reduced form.
HB1727: Representative Sli Information Only05:23:14.160 - 2:18:36 PM; Representative Sli raises privacy concerns under the NH Constitution for sharing children's personal information. They ask about similar data sharing examples that pass privacy standards. They confirm if shared information is after parental consent on the free and reduced form. They suggest adding a checkbox for summer EBT consent, which the witness agrees is acceptable.
HB1727: Madam Chair Information Only05:25:32.878 - 2:20:54 PM; The Chair thanks the witness for answering detailed questions and closes the public hearing on HB1727. They casually ask the committee if they should move to executive session to request a fiscal note.
HB1727: Madam Chair Information Only05:26:21.520 - 2:21:43 PM; The Chair closes the public hearing and opens an executive session on HB1727 to request a fiscal note to understand costs or savings.
HB1727: Representative Cers Vote05:26:21.520 - 2:21:43 PM; Representative Cers moves to enter executive session and request the fiscal note.
HB1727: Representative Schmidt Vote05:26:21.520 - 2:21:43 PM; Representative Schmidt seconds the motion.
HB1727: Committee Vote05:26:21.520 - 2:21:43 PM; The committee votes in favor of the motion by show of hands; no opposition. The motion passes, and a request for the fiscal note is sent.
Unclear: Representative Doy Information Only05:27:12.958 - 2:22:34 PM; Representative Doy clarifies she believes in the Holocaust, having visited the site in Germany. She apologizes for any confusion caused by her earlier comments, explaining she misunderstood a speaker's position and did not intend to question the event.
Unclear: Representative Scitec Information Only05:28:09.360 - 2:23:31 PM; Representative Scitec states he is not a denier but notes the speaker was careful to question statistics and details. He emphasizes the horror shown in Eisenhower's pictures and finds debating fine details irrelevant and dangerous.
Unclear: Madam Chair Information Only05:28:09.360 - 2:23:31 PM; The Chair notes the potential for misunderstanding and states they are not engaging in debate.
Unclear: Representative R. Information Only05:29:21.680 - 2:24:43 PM; Representative R. thanks the committee for the experience, noting it's their first time, and praises the Chair for running a great meeting.
Unclear: Madam Chair Information Only05:29:21.680 - 2:24:43 PM; The Chair thanks everyone, recognizes substitute representatives, releases one, and adjourns until 10:00 a.m. tomorrow.
