HR44

NH’s Multi-Tiered System of Supports for Behavioral Health and Wellness (MTSS-B) is a framework that helps provide behavioral health support to our students. The three tiers of this system work together to ensure that all kids in our public schools are given positive behavioral expectations. Some children can benefit from Tier 2, which simply means they will receive coping support and skill building. This can help children who are struggling in school. The kids with the highest needs have access to individualized behavioral health services through local community health care partners. There will always be some children who need more supports to be successful, and this is a thoughtful and impactful way of helping those children. MTSS-B can reduce exclusionary practices like suspension and expulsion. It can improve instructional time by decreasing disruptive behaviors in the classroom, and it can increase academic success. This initiative had bipartisan support and was signed into law by a republican governor just a few short years ago. I am not sure why this committee is considering ending the Multi-Tiered System of Supports before we see the impact it could have on our students. Please give this framework a chance to make a difference. Please vote ITL on this bill.

NH public lands are priceless and need solid protection. I oppose any efforts to rescind the Roadless Rule in NH.

I support this bill because our public lands need to be protected. The time to protect is now. It is hard to save things once they are gone.

Public lands are extremely important to the State of New Hampshire. Please support this bill.

I strongly support HR44 because protecting public lands is essential to preserving New Hampshire’s natural resources, recreational access, and environmental health. This resolution affirms the state’s commitment to responsible stewardship for future generations.

I support this bill, especially keeping the Roadless Rule intact. Research has shown that the more roads cut deep into wilderness forests, the higher the chance for forest fires. It's just common sense: if you put more people, vehicles and machines deep into the forest, of course, you are going to have more fires. Only you can prevent forest fires. Keep the Roadless Rule intact, vote for HR 44. Thanks.

Libraries should be controlled by the people and not by the government--to preserve critical thinking and avoid authoritarianism.

This is for the sake of all NH voters.

Supporting the protection of public lands is vital.

I strongly urge you to support HR 44, which calls for keeping our extraordinary public lands under public control and opposes rescinding the designation of lands under the Roadless Rule. Let's keep NH the special place it is for both residents and visitors! Thank you for your consideration, John Walsh

Please leave these poor children alone!

Our beloved parks and reserves should never be destroyed for any kind of profit or buildings. They are the homes of countless species of animals, and it is not right to destroy their homes for corporate greed.
