Meg Cowan for Myself Wilmot I strongly support HB 1248-FN. This bill ensures that prior convictions for intoxication or drug-related offenses—including those where the sentence included mandated education or treatment—are properly counted when assessing enhanced penalties for repeat offenders. By closing this gap, the bill strengthens accountability, promotes public safety, and ensures that repeat offenders face consequences consistent with the seriousness of their actions. It is a commonsense step to reinforce New Hampshire’s commitment to preventing impaired driving and substance-related harm. | Wilmot | Support | 574 | Jan 22, 2026 | |
