Rep. Alvin See

Maddy summaryThis bill allows children of school district employees to enroll in the schools where their parents work, provided there is available space and no need for new classrooms or staff. It clarifies that these employees' children are considered non-resident students, meaning their home school districts are not required to pay for their transportation to the school district where the parent works. The bill also establishes that the employee's home district must pay at least 80 percent of the average cost per pupil for these students attending open enrollment schools in their resident district, while the remaining costs are covered by the parents through payroll deductions or district policy. Additionally, the bill specifies that if an employee leaves their job, their child can finish the current school year before returning to their home district.

Maddy summaryThis bill prohibits the state's Medicaid program from covering gender reassignment surgery for individuals under the age of 18. By adding a new provision to the state's Medicaid laws, it explicitly excludes this specific medical procedure from coverage for minors. The change would take effect 60 days after the bill is passed, ensuring that public funds are not used for these surgeries for people in that age group.

Maddy summaryThis bill allows registered voters to examine digital images of ballots created by electronic counting devices to verify the accuracy and integrity of election equipment. Under the new rules, the Secretary of State would manage a supervised viewing process where observers can inspect stored images on state computers without downloading or copying the data. Access to these images would be permitted only after all recounts and appeals are finished, and any discrepancies found by observers could trigger an investigation by the Attorney General. The legislation also gives the Secretary of State authority to disqualify specific voting machines or vendors if issues are discovered during these reviews.

Maddy summaryThis bill directs the New Hampshire Department of Energy to conduct ongoing studies on nuclear energy technologies, including advanced reactors, and to evaluate how these developments might impact state laws, infrastructure, and public safety. It requires the department to publish a report on these findings at least once every three years, starting in December 2025, and to consult with various state agencies on issues such as health, transportation, and environmental protection. Additionally, the bill officially renames the Office of Offshore Wind Industry Development to better reflect its broader role in coordinating state activities related to both nuclear and offshore wind energy. The legislation establishes the Commissioner of Energy as the primary state adviser to the Governor on matters concerning the industrial and commercial use of nuclear energy.
