| Republican Review | Volume 8 Issue 15 | March 28th, 2025 House Republicans and Friends Across New Hampshire, I want to take a moment to thank each of you for your dedication and unity during this week’s long session days. As usual, Democrats did everything they could to drag out debates and complicate the process, but thanks to our commitment to conservative principles and the Republican Contract with New Hampshire, we stood strong and got the job done.Next week, we have a much-needed break from session—take the time to rest up. When we return, we face one of our most important tasks yet: passing a responsible budget that prioritizes fiscal discipline, economic growth, and the needs of all Granite Staters. This will take immense teamwork and coordination on our part, and we must remain united to ensure success.House Republicans have shown time and again that when we stick together, we deliver real results for New Hampshire. Let’s stay the course, uphold our promises, and continue fighting for the values that make our state the best in the nation.Enjoy the break—you’ve earned it! All the best,  Jason OsborneHouse Majority LeaderWATCH: Democrats REVOLTED when Rep. Cordelli read from content that is READILY available in middle school libraries around the Granite State. Those same Democrats tried blocking HB 324, a bill which ensures content is age appropriate in schools. Democrats’ hypocrisy knows no limits. Click Here to Watch the Video Republicans Protect Children from Radical Gender Ideology  House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs Vice-Chair Lisa Mazur released the following statement after the New Hampshire House passed HB 377 and HB 712. This pair of bills protect Granite State children from the harm of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and breast removal surgeries (with exceptions) before the age of 18. “In New Hampshire, you need to be 18 to get a tattoo, be a notary, buy a lottery ticket, serve on a jury, and vote. Ironically, this year, Democrats filed legislation that prohibits the sale of over-the-counter weight loss and muscle building supplements to individuals under 18 years of age and imposes penalties on retail establishments that sell the supplements to minors but think that taking harmful gender transition medications and cutting off perfectly healthy body parts as a child is okay,” said Mazur. “These procedures and medications do irreparable and permanent harm. With seven European countries and several states taking pragmatic steps to protect minors, New Hampshire is following the lead of several other jurisdictions and taking a stand to protect vulnerable children. This legislation gives them time, space and hope for a future that isn’t defined by irreversible medical mistakes.” Republicans Strengthen Parental Consent Laws  House Criminal Justice Vice-Chair Jennifer Rhodes released the following statement after the New Hampshire House passed HB 191-FN. As amended, this bill makes it unlawful for any adult to transport a minor for any surgical procedure without the written consent of the parent or guardian. “It is illogical that we would allow anyone who is not a parent to take our children for surgery or any medical procedure without parental consent. No matter what the procedures or reasons are, parents have a right to know what is happening to their children, and the vast majority of Granite Staters stand by that fact.” “Republicans stand for transparency, and we will not allow our children’s lives to be dictated by secrets purposefully withheld from parents. As the primary caregivers tasked with overseeing our children’s wellbeing and safety, HB 191 draws a line in the sand that ensures that we, the parents, maintain the ultimate say in the health and safety of their minor children.” Republicans Ensure that New Hampshire’s Official Language is English  House Transportation Committee Chair Tom Walsh released the following statement after the New Hampshire House passed HB 461. This legislation ensures that testing materials used at the New Hampshire department of Motor Vehicles are printed in English. “The New Hampshire Department of Safety has publicly stated that language barriers are one of the three main safety issues on New Hampshire roadways. Considering that our road signs, directional signs, and emergency electronic signs are all written in English, it makes sense that anyone with a New Hampshire driver’s license ought to have at least a basic understanding of our language.” said Walsh. “This is not a new concept,” Walsh explained, “RSA 3-C1 states that the official language of New Hampshire is English. If someone is unable to take a driver’s test without needing translation services, then we should seriously consider whether or not they are safe enough to endorse with the New Hampshire license.” Republicans Stop Arbitrary Mask Mandates  Mask mandates had dire consequences on our children’s mental & emotional development. The power to create a mask mandate should not be arbitrarily enforced. Republicans passed HB 361 so that this heavy decision will be made by the State, not school boards. Republicans Assist Ambulance Services  House Commerce Committee Chair John Hunt released the following statement after the New Hampshire House passed HB 316-FN. This legislation addresses the ongoing crisis in emergency medical services by standardizing ambulance reimbursement rates, prohibiting balance billing, and creating a commission to explore an all-payer model. “Ambulance services are essential for public safety. With ambulance services at a critical juncture, Republicans are working across the aisle to find common sense solutions. HB 316 is a fair and sustainable step forward to ensure access to emergency services when you need them most.” said Hunt. Hunt explained, “By implementing a structured and data-driven reimbursement model, New Hampshire can create a sustainable framework that supports ambulance services without imposing undue financial strain on a limited segment of the population. This legislation represents a pragmatic approach to balancing the needs of emergency medical providers, insurers, and consumers alike.” Republicans Raise a Glass to Social Districts  Republicans passed HB467, which enables towns to create social districts. In social districts, people can publicly enjoy alcoholic beverages wherever they choose HB467 benefits small businesses and gives more freedom to both patrons and business owners. Democrats Vote to Release Murderers  House Republicans just killed HB638, a bill letting prisoners on a life sentence without parole walk free. Under Republican leadership, prisoners serving a life sentence will remain incarcerated. Meanwhile Democrats want criminals to roam free, Republicans will keep NH safe. Democrats Push Unconstitutional Legislation  The Supreme Court has repeatedly said that bills that exclude religious schools from Education Freedom are UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Democrats don’t listen and are trying to trigger costly, taxpayer funded lawsuits, Republicans slam the door on Democratic attacks on school choice. Democrats Want to Call Your Family Racist  While Democrats fight tooth, nail, and lawsuit to call you and your children “inherently racist,” Republicans’ are strengthening NH’s nondiscrimination laws. Republicans believe that ALL men are created equal, while Democrats believe you’re all inherently racist Republicans Stop Runaway Bureaucracy  House Republicans just passed HB357, that takes power away from unelected bureaucrats who unilaterally obscure rulemaking processes to create arbitrary vaccine mandates. If a vaccine is necessary for healthy development, then the DHHS can make the case through proper processes.Republicans Protect the Sovereignty of NH!  Republicans pass HB584 and protect the sovereignty of NH! HB584 ensures that the UN, WHO, and WEF have NO jurisdiction here in NH. In NH, we the people decide what’s best for ourselves, not some globalist organization pushing a leftist agenda. HB584 embodies Live Free or Die!
