The 400-member New Hampshire House has found a new place to meet indoors later this month, but the Legislature s top Democrat is threatening legal action to allow lawmakers who don t want to meet in person due to COVID-19 the right to participate remotely.
In a notice to colleagues Friday, House Speaker Sherman Packard said he continues to research ways for the House to meet remotely but has yet to find a solution that meets what he called the body s unique needs.
Packard has, however, found a place where he says the House can safely meet in person: the New Hampshire Sportsplex in Bedford. Packard said lawmakers there will have 50,000 square feet in which to maintain social distance - about twice what they had the last time the house met indoors, at UNH s Whittemore Center.
