In order to reduce recidivism, some offenders would benefit from taking part in a victim impact program.

See Eugene, Oregon “Cahoots” CAHOOTS (Crisis Assistance Helping Out on the Streets) CRISIS ASSISTANCE HELPING OUT ON THE STREETS And White Bird Clinic for blueprint of behavior health assistance. I saw it do wonders when I lived there briefly

Anything that could convince someone not to drive impaired is a good idea.

I think it is a wonderful idea to do something proactive in addition to their criminal penalty for those who violate the law to prevent repeat offending. I support this bill.

I can't imagine the horror of losing a loved one by an impaired driver. This bill may save lives!

Carol WelshSupportNew Castle, NHfor MyselfFeb 12, 2025

I support this Bill for public safety

The individual required to participate4 in these/this program(s) will pay for the program; correct? The State should not be paying for this.

This bill would create even further homelessness in an already critical housing crisis and allow for widespread discrimination. It's important to keep safeguards in place to protect vulnerable populations.
