relative to required pay for remote work.

Maddy summarySB 171, as amended, proposes to repeal RSA 275:43-a, an existing statute. This law currently mandates that employers pay wages to employees who report to work at the employer's request. If enacted, the bill would remove this specific requirement for wage payment, directly impacting employers and employees by changing the conditions under which wages must be paid for reporting to work.

Labor & EmploymentOpposes Labor & EmploymentRepealing requirement for employer wage payment when employees report to work weakens worker protection regarding pay for reporting, directly restricting a labor right.90% confidence

establishing a committee to study adding statewide resources to assist with the investigation, training, prosecution, and prompt response of animal cruelty.

Maddy summaryHB 153 establishes a committee to study how New Hampshire could create statewide resources for animal cruelty cases. The committee, composed of three House members and one Senate member, will examine current law enforcement training, identify best practices for prosecution and response, and recommend ways to form a coordinated statewide resource group. It must report its findings and recommendations to state leaders by November 1, 2025. This bill does not fund or create new resources itself, but sets up a process to evaluate how to improve animal cruelty investigations and responses. (HB 153, 2025 session)
