John Walsh for Myself New London Energy costs are a significant part of household budgets in a northern state such as NH. As such, it is important that these costs to the consumer are regulated in a manner reflective of their magnitude. I, therefore, urge you to support HB 1262 which will provide an additional level of consumer protection in their interactions with energy providers. Thank you for your consideration, John Walsh | New London | Support | 401 | Jan 29, 2026 | |
Tiffany Gladu for Myself Goffstown I oppose this bill because it does not expand transparency, protections, or meaningful benefits for New Hampshire residents. | Goffstown | Oppose | 124 | Jan 29, 2026 | |
Jennifer legier for Myself Campton This is a common-sense consumer protection bill, that prevents financial hardships for NH residents, due to price gouging during winter months. In an industry that is currently unregulated in the state of NH, this bill is a necessary step to protecting the financial well-being of NH residents. I support this bill. | Campton | Support | 315 | Jan 29, 2026 | |
