2025-2026 Session

What are they filing?

While Granite Staters worry about taxes, schools, and safety, NH Democrats are busy proposing bills like these. Every one is real. Every one was filed in the official NH General Court.

The Nanny State Collection

Democrats want to regulate what you buy, how you drive, and what you're allowed to do in the "Live Free or Die" state.

HB 152 Rep. Linda Haskins (D)

Ban Mouse Traps

Prohibiting the sale and use of adhesive-based rodent traps. Government-mandated mouse trap policy for New Hampshire.

HB 1080 Rep. Wendy Thomas (D)

Regulate Condoms

Prohibiting the sale of condoms and personal lubricant containing PFAS. The legislature is now inspecting your personal products.

HB 326 Rep. Timothy Horrigan (D)

Ban Driving Antique Cars

Prohibiting operation of pre-1968 antique vehicles on highways for more than 20 miles unless fitted with seat belts. Classic car owners, beware.

HB 1174 Rep. Wendy Thomas (D)

Warning Signs at Liquor Stores

Requiring all state liquor stores to post visible signage warning of health risks associated with alcohol. Because adults need the government to tell them beer is bad.

HB 387 Rep. Janet Wall (D)

Ban Balloons

Prohibiting balloons from being released into the air. A balloon ban. In the "Live Free or Die" state.

HB 1532 Rep. Alice Wade (D)

Regulate Vape Coil Temperature

Setting a maximum temperature for vape heating coils. The NH legislature is now an engineering standards board for vaping devices.

HB 1686 Rep. Patrick Long (D)

Speed Limiters in Your Car

Establishing an "intelligent speed assistance program" -- government-mandated speed limiters in vehicles. Big Brother rides shotgun.

HB 305 Rep. Philip Jones (D)

Speed Cameras and Red-Light Cameras

Allowing speed and red-light cameras for traffic enforcement across New Hampshire. Automated ticketing by surveillance camera.

HB 419 Rep. Philip Jones (D)

Headlights-When-Wipers-Are-On Law

Requiring vehicle headlights to be on whenever windshield wipers are on. Another micro-regulation for everyday life.

You Can't Make This Up

Bills so bizarre they sound like satire. They're not.

HB 1013 Rep. Cathryn Harvey (D)

Regulate Pig-Catching Games

A bill "relative to games wherein the object is to capture a pig." Because apparently the NH legislature needs to regulate this.

SB 30 Sen. Donovan Fenton (D)

Official State Marsupial

Proclaiming the Virginia opossum the official state marsupial of New Hampshire. With everything going on in the state, this is what they filed.

HB 1390 Rep. Laura Telerski (D)

Official State Doughnut

Designating the apple cider doughnut the official doughnut of the state of New Hampshire. Your tax dollars at work.

HB 593 Rep. Ellen Read (D)

Sue Over Your Pet's Feelings

Creates a "loss of consortium" cause of action involving pets -- letting you sue for emotional distress over an animal. Trial lawyers love this one.

HB 277 Rep. Peter Bixby (D)

Regulate the Words "Foal" and "Colt"

A bill regulating the use of the terms "foal" and "colt." The state legislature is now the language police for horse terminology.

HB 1457 Rep. Jessica LaMontagne (D)

Human Composting

"Natural organic reduction of human remains." In plain English: composting dead people. Filed as a serious legislative proposal.

HB 1664 Rep. David Nagel (D)

Tear Down the Hannah Duston Memorial

Directing the state to remove the Hannah Duston Memorial -- a statue honoring a colonial-era woman who escaped captivity. Erasing New Hampshire history.

This is what they do with your legislature.

While you're working, paying taxes, and raising your family, NH Democrats are filing bills to ban mouse traps, regulate pig-catching, and declare an official state marsupial. All from the official NH General Court database.
