Became law
This already passed. Here's what you can still do.
1. Push for repeal or amendment
Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.
→ Write to your rep3. Tell people the bill affects
Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.
This bill changes when a person can use physical force to defend themselves or others if someone is likely to commit a felony. It also allows doctors, physician associates, or advanced practice registered nurses to order seclusion or restraint during a personal safety emergency at New Hampshire Hospital and other designated facilities. These changes would affect individuals involved in self-defense situations and patients in certain mental health facilities.
