The New Hampshire House passed a bill that would refund fines issued to businesses for violating COVID-19 orders, the first successful rebuke of Gov. Chris Sununu’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic by members of his own party.
House Bill 63 would stop the state from continuing to enforce one of Sununu’s most significant orders: Executive Order 65, which established fines of up to $1,000 for business owners, property owners or individuals that violate COVID-19 rules and regulations. Those fines have been issued by the Attorney General s office to businesses in recent months; about $10,000 in fines have been issued in total.
