Summary
The House read multiple resignation letters, welcomed newly sworn-in representatives and heard memorial remarks for former member David Testerman; several members' remarks were ordered printed in the permanent journal.
During the communications and introductions portion of the session, the clerk read formal resignation letters submitted to the Speaker from members including Donald J. Bouchard (Hillsborough 24), Matt Money (Belknap County 2), Sheila Seidel (effective 10/31/2025), and Glenn Cordelli. The clerk also announced that Billy Butler (Strafford County District 12) and Mark Detremblay (Coos County District 5) had been sworn into office by the governor and executive council and were welcomed to the chamber.
Representative Ken Wyler delivered memorial remarks for former member David Testerman, highlighting his legislative service, military honors, work as an aeronautical engineer, and community roles; members observed a moment of silence. Multiple members moved to have the remarks of colleagues printed in the permanent journal, and the chair granted those requests without objection.
Administrative announcements followed, with the clerk asking members to clear mailboxes and noting that bill assignments and scheduling for January would be posted by the end of the week.
