CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire’s House is again considering whether to require a supermajority in the Legislature to pass tax or fee increases or to approve borrowing.
The House will vote on the proposed constitutional amendment Wednesday. The House Ways and Means Committee is recommending killing the measure as a limit on lawmakers’ ability to write budgets.
Supporters argue it will promote consensus if a three-fifths vote is needed to raise money.
The Legislature considered the amendment last year, but it died in the House.
