Prohibits the budget trailer bill from including statutory changes not required to implement the biennial budget and requires each trailer bill line item to reference its corresponding budget line item.
relative to the contents of the budget trailer bill.
This bill, HB1166, will prevent statute changes that are not needed to implement the two year budget bill. We need transparency and don't need pet projects slipped in at the last minute. The house should vote on items and have time to investigate what effects they will have.
The trailer bill should not be used as a way to sneak in policy changes that would not be agreed to by the legislature as stand-alone policies. Only items which are necessary to implement the budget should be included. Make NH legislation transparent, so we all understand what our legislature is and is not doing.
It's confusing when things are slipped in such as with the budget 2, both for transparency and for democratic process. Also I don't like being beholden to the it party's whims. A lot of us are independent.
