condemning the judicial doctrine of "disparate impact".

Maddy summaryHR 6 is a symbolic House resolution condemning the judicial doctrine of "disparate impact," which courts use to assess whether policies unintentionally cause unequal outcomes. It claims this doctrine relies on flawed "univariate analysis" and links it to controversial legal theories, arguing it unjustly expands government liability. The resolution urges courts to overturn this doctrine but has no legal force - it does not change laws or regulations. It was referred to committee and deemed "inexpedient to legislate" with a 15-2 vote against it. The resolution directly addresses federal courts, not affected communities or government agencies.

resolving to return to the historical intent of the express trust indenture, the New Hampshire Constitution, specifically Part 1, Article 11 and Part 2, Article 32.

Maddy summaryThis legislative resolution declares that New Hampshire's government operates under an express trust defined by the state constitution, arguing that only powers explicitly written in the document are granted to officials. The bill seeks to restrict absentee voting to only those physically absent from their town or suffering from a physical disability, while also mandating that absentee ballots be marked in the presence of an authorized official to ensure witness standards match those for in-person voting. Additionally, the measure aims to eliminate electronic voting machines and requires that ballot counting be supervised by selectmen to guarantee human eyewitnesses are present during the process. Although the House passed this resolution, an interim study committee reviewed it and ultimately did not recommend it for future legislation.
