Leigh Hutchinson for Myself Derry It seems to me this law would put undue burden on the state and require state responsibility for constitutional rights violations that do not involve the state. This law burdens the state with unknown, thus unrestricted, damages. | Derry | Oppose | 229 | Feb 12, 2025 | |
Margaret Konze for Myself Pembroke Sure as long as this is going to also apply to women and disabled people, absolutely! | Pembroke | Support | 87 | Feb 12, 2025 | |
Kelly Cataluna for Myself Nashua HB 614 is an important piece of legislation that addresses past constitutional rights violations in New Hampshire. Currently under New Hampshire case law, one can receive a remedy in court if one's constitutional rights are going to be violated in the future or are currently being violated in an ongoing way. However, if any of your constitutional rights were violated in the past, and the violation is over, you cannot receive a remedy. In its proposed legislation, HB 614 seeks to fix this issue by asserting that if one's constitutional rights were violated in the past, one still has recourse to a remedy. This bill applies to every constitutional right, from the right to freedom of speech, to the right to bear arms, to the right to freedom of religion. This bill will improve justice and democracy in our state. Please support HB 614! Thank you! Kelly A.

Debora Hatcher for Myself Dover I am an independent voter in NH. This bill seems to be unnecessary at best, and at worst creates an opportunity for frivolous lawsuits that tax our overburdened courts and increase costs for NH taxpayers. | Dover | Oppose | 206 | Feb 12, 2025 | |

Barbara Harwood for Myself MEREDITH I support HB 614 as it asserts that if a person's constitutional rights were violated in the past, they still have recourse to a remedy.
