Co-sponsor HB 280

Failed · New Hampshire House · Co-sponsor

relative to wage payments.

Maddy summaryHB 280 requires New Hampshire employers to pay weekly workers within 8 days and biweekly workers within 15 days of the work week ending. It specifies acceptable payment methods including cash, direct deposit, electronic transfer, or payroll cards, with strict rules for payroll cards: employers must provide clear fee disclosures, obtain voluntary written consent, allow employees to switch methods anytime without penalty, and cover all card-related costs. The bill also mandates that health and pension fund contributions be paid within 30 days of a demand. This directly affects all employees and employers covered under New Hampshire's wage payment laws (RSA 275:43).

Primary HB 284

Failed · New Hampshire House · Lead sponsor

requiring tax impact statements on municipal warrant articles.

Maddy summaryHB 284 requires New Hampshire towns to include clear, standardized tax impact statements on all municipal budget voting items (warrant articles) that affect property taxes. Specifically, towns must add a line like "If this article passes, estimated tax impact of $X.XX per $1,000 property valuation" for each item, with multi-year impacts showing yearly estimates for up to five years. Towns must also provide a total tax impact summary on ballots if all tax-impacting items pass, phrased as "If all warrant articles with a tax impact pass, estimated tax impact of $X.XX per $1,000 property valuation." This directly affects towns (and their residents) by mandating transparent, consistent tax impact disclosures before voting. The bill is procedural, focusing on disclosure requirements, not changing tax rates or policies.

Co-sponsor HR 7

Failed · New Hampshire House · Co-sponsor

instructing the house of representatives to investigate whether grounds exist to impeach Judge David Ruoff.

Maddy summaryHR 7 is a procedural resolution directing the New Hampshire House of Representatives to investigate whether grounds exist to impeach Judge David Ruoff. It cites two specific concerns: his ruling ordering over $500 million in state funds without legislative approval (violating constitutional budgeting powers) and his refusal to stay the order pending Supreme Court review. The resolution requires the House to complete this investigation and submit a report by November 1, 2025. This is a purely procedural step authorizing an inquiry, not a vote to impeach, and does not change any laws or directly affect any citizens.
