prohibiting mandatory mask policies in schools.

Maddy summaryThis bill would have prevented school districts and public schools from enforcing rules that require students or visitors to wear face coverings, such as masks, while on school property. It allows schools to keep mandatory mask policies only if they are needed for specific sports, science safety, or individualized health plans for students with disabilities. The law would have taken effect 60 days after being passed, but it was ultimately vetoed by the governor and did not become law.

establishing a committee to study ways to facilitate municipal compliance with Clean Water Act requirements.

Maddy summaryThis bill would declare all regulations from the federal Environmental Protection Agency invalid within New Hampshire and prohibit local governments from enforcing or collaborating with the agency. It asserts that the EPA lacks constitutional authority and mandates that the state's Department of Environmental Services handle all environmental protection rules instead. The legislation directly affects counties, cities, towns, and other local entities by removing their ability to comply with federal Clean Water Act requirements. Although the bill proposes a committee to study municipal compliance, the final text instead voids federal mandates and shifts full environmental regulatory responsibility to the state.
