The New Hampshire Senate passed a “right to work” bill Thursday, advancing a longstanding Republican effort to make union membership dues optional for private sector employees. Senate Bill 61, which passed 13-11, would prohibit collective bargaining.
New dates eyed for NH state not presidential primary
By HOLLY RAMERJanuary 29, 2021 GMT
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) New Hampshire lawmakers are considering changing the date of the primary election. No, not that primary.
The House Election Law committee held public hearings Friday on three bills that would change the date not of the first-in-the-nation presidential primary, but of the state primary held the second Tuesday in September to elect the governor, Legislature and members of Congress.
One measure would change the date to the second Tuesday in August; another would move the primary to the first Tuesday in June; and a third would move it up by a week only in certain years.
