Summary

The New Hampshire House adopted committee recommendations on multiple bills, laid others on the table, and approved several floor amendments during a lengthy floor session that included contentious debates and roll-call votes.

The New Hampshire House of Representatives considered a packed calendar on March 10, 2026, adopting committee recommendations on a range of bills, tabling others for further work and approving a number of floor amendments.

The session opened with routine ceremonial items and a letter of resignation from Representative Sandra Panick (Pelham) read by the clerk. The House adopted the consent calendar by voice vote and vacated reference of Senate Bill 457 to the Committee on Education Policy and Administration.

Several bills were resolved by roll-call or division votes. Notable outcomes recorded on the floor included:

- HB 12-25 (child support worksheet deductions): Committee report adopted after extended debate (state of the vote announced as 185 in the affirmative, 152 in the negative). - HB 10-78 (Gold Star Father and Gold Star Family license plate): Unanimous, resounding voice support; committee report adopted. - HB 10-48 (repeal certain weapon prohibitions for adults): Committee report adopted following debate and a roll-call vote (state of the vote announced as 192 in the affirmative, 154 in the negative). - HB 14-42 (definitions and limits for sex-segregated facilities): Floor amendment 1054H was adopted; the motion as amended passed on a roll-call vote (181 in the affirmative, 164 in the negative).

The House also laid dozens of bills on the table (including HB 13-87, HB 13-93, HB 14-54, HB 18-22, HB 15-78, HB 14-02, HB 14-03, HB 14-40, HB 18-20, HB 18-34 and others), either by motion or following division/roll-call votes. Several committee reports were recorded as "inexpedient to legislate" (ITL) and a number of measures moved to interim study.

Where debate was intensive, members registered parliamentary inquiries and multiple members pressed for roll-call votes. The House approved a number of requests to enter remarks in the permanent journal and adopted floor amendments on several measures.

The session recessed for brief periods and then continued through the late calendar; the House adjourned after concluding business and set the next meeting to reconvene on Wednesday, March 11 at 09:00.
