Measure would require individual agreements with restaurants
May 6, 2021
Lawmakers in the New Hampshire Senate are moving to regulate the way third-party food delivery apps work with local restaurants, citing complaints that the apps have listed some restaurants without their knowledge.
In a vote Tuesday morning, members of the Senate Commerce and Consumer Affairs Committee recommended, 5-0, to require that food delivery apps enter into explicit agreements with the restaurants before adding them to their apps.
The proposed law, Senate Bill 593, would affect popular phone apps like DoorDash, Grubhub, and Uber Eats. It would require express authorization for the food app “to take orders and deliver meals prepared by the food service establishment or retail food store.”

Senate-backed bill would lead to federal funding for discrimination investigations
May 5, 2021
While many Granite State homebuyers and renters are being priced out of the market, some face a more surreptitious barrier to housing: discrimination.
In March, the New Hampshire Senate voted unanimously to revise the state Fair Housing Law through Senate Bill 126. The bill is intended to win federal funding for housing discrimination investigations. However, SB 126 could meet resistance in the House, where some legislators look suspiciously on federal government ties.
Proposal to revise housing laws
SB 126 is a combination of three different proposals related to housing. First, the bill revises the circumstances under which a tenant can stop eviction by paying overdue rent. Second, the bill enables rental assistance prior to an eviction notice. Lastly, the bill rewrites New Hampshire’s Fair Housing Law.
