This law provides criminal penalties with few guard rails and protections and allows for committee overreach

Giana GelseyOpposeMadbury, NHfor MyselfMar 5, 2025

This is trying to put criminal penalties for freedom of speech and is would allow gross overreach by committees. This bill is arguably unconstitutional.

I oppose this bill

Micheline HaganOpposeBarrington, NHfor MyselfMar 5, 2025
