House tables remote‑work pay bill; attempt to remove it from the table fails later
Summary
Senate Bill 171, addressing required pay for remote work, was laid on the table earlier in the session by a division vote. A later motion to remove SB 171 from the table failed on a roll call, leaving the bill laid on the table.
The New Hampshire House laid Senate Bill 171 on the table during the day session and later rejected a motion to take it off the table.
During floor debate the House took a division vote on the motion to lay SB 171 on the table. The clerk announced the state of the vote was "170 in the affirmative, 165 in the negative," and the presiding officer said, "1 70 one's laid on the table." Representative Susie moved to lay the bill on the table and requested a division vote.
Later in the session Representative Sweeney moved to remove SB 171 from the table and Representative Potenza requested a roll call on that motion. After debate and a roll call, the clerk announced "168 in the affirmative, 174 in the negative" and the motion to remove the bill from the table failed, leaving SB 171 on the table.
What this means: by laying the bill on the table and sustaining that status on a subsequent roll call, the House did not continue debate or move SB 171 forward at this session.
