NH Business Review With an eye toward this year’s revenue windfall, committee votes unanimously for measure May 26, 2021 fter four work sessions and a lot of angst, the House of Ways and Means Committee voted unanimously to exempt New Hampshire businesses from paying taxes on forgiven Paycheck Protection Program loans. The bipartisan 23-0 vote to approve Senate Bill 3 without amendment indicates the measure is likely to pass the full House next week and be sent to Gov. Chris Sununu for his signature. The vote came a week after the latest estimate that the bill would cost the state treasury nearly $100 million, and the day before getting an update from the Department of Revenue Administration on how it would will affect the state budget.
