Daniel Richardson for Myself Nashua This would initiate cause for continued annual $1.7 million expense. Expenditures* $0 ($1.7 million) ($1.7 million) ($1.7 million) | Nashua | Oppose | 138 | Mar 25, 2026 | |
Hannah Meiselman for Myself Manchester I oppose SB 549-FN because it imposes unrealistic return-rate mandates and new administrative burdens on syringe service programs while simultaneously eliminating the state funding these programs rely on. This combination undermines evidence-based harm-reduction services, increases public-health risks, and creates unfunded mandates that will shift costs to hospitals and emergency response systems. New Hampshire needs stronger support for harm-reduction infrastructure, not policies that weaken it. | Manchester | Oppose | 501 | Mar 25, 2026 | |
