CONCORD, N.H.- Lawmakers ended up deciding the fates of two high profile bills, sending both off to study and ending their chances of advance during this current session.
On Thursday Senate lawmakers working on House Bill 1793 decided to amend the measure that would allow professors on campuses receiving state funding the right to carry weapons to protect themselves before sending the bill off to a study committee effectively ending any potential future advancement for the remainder of this session.
Following the move Democratic lawmakers voiced their opposition to the move, saying it’s unwise to introduce more guns onto the campus environment.
Lawmakers also ended up acting on another piece of legislation, Senate Bill 498, which expands insurance coverage for children’s mental health services and had been the topic backed by Governor Kelly Ayotte and one that lead to a number of heated discussions.
As House Republicans stood firm against the measure, Governor Ayotte called the decision sidelining the bill disappointing.
