CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — As summer winds down, lawmakers are heading back to Concord for a series of study committee meetings and work on bills touching school building aid, voter registration and more.
Lawmakers frequently create study groups or return bills to committees for further work between legislative sessions. Study committees sometimes function as polite ways to reject bills, but more often serve as a venue for strengthening bills for reintroduction in the next session. Lawmakers will return for regular sessions in January.
The House Education Committee is working on two bills aimed at increasing aid to school districts to help with school construction projects. Other committees will tackle state aid for public water systems, the economic impact of arts and culture and state procurement processes. Last week, lawmakers met to discuss equipping police with body cameras.
