December marked the start of working in my second term in the New Hampshire House. My freshman term I served on the Municipal and County Government Committee, but this term moved to the new standing Housing Committee. After years of working at the local level advocating for housing and economic development, this is an exciting opportunity. In the beginning of January, the committee was assigned 22 House bills and included a mix of land use and landlord tenant regulations. Over the course of the next few months, there was a lot of testimony and information to process. After numerous committee deliberations and the work of two subcommittees, positive changes have been made to the many of the bills. Last session, I shared a housing bill recap with Durham's Planning Board and Town Council. My aim this session is to do a better job of sharing ideas with communities on what we can do to fix our housing issues. I have attached my thoughts on the bills we saw this session. In April, crossover occurs, and we will get Senate bills. I will provide another update in April and May.
