🏠 NH Pro-Housing Bills: Full Status Update 🏠 ✅ PASSED THE HOUSE, NOW IN THE SENATE ✅ 🏢 HB 1010: Strengthens and clarifies last year's HB 631 (RSA 674:77-78) which requires municipalities to allow multi-family housing on commercially zoned land. The House amendment gives planning boards a clear framework for evaluating whether roads, water, and sewer infrastructure can handle the development, and lets applicants provide their own infrastructure if the existing systems aren't adequate. Also allows nonconforming commercial structures to convert to multi-family or mixed-use without needing zoning dimensional relief, so long as the building isn't altered to further violate dimensional requirements. Effective 7/1/26. 📅 Passed House with amendment, now in Senate Housing (referred 2/25) 🏗️ HAD HOUSE FLOOR VOTES LAST WEEK (3/11) 🏗️ ⚠️ Note: The legislative database hasn't recorded floor vote outcomes yet. All of these were on the consent calendar with unanimous committee recommendations, so passage is very likely unless a bill was pulled off consent for a roll call vote. ✅ HB 1079: ADUs on non-conforming structures. If your house was built before July 2025 and later became "non-conforming" because the town changed its setback or lot coverage rules, you can add an accessory dwelling unit without needing a variance. Just show the planning board proof the building predates the rule change and proof of permission to build it. For structures built after July 2025, references RSA 674:39's seven-year exemption from setback/lot coverage changes for substantially completed structures. Also prevents a change-of-use under RSA 674:19 from stripping a property's pre-existing non-conforming status, closing a common loophole towns use to block property owners. Housing committee voted OTPA 17-0. Consent calendar. ✅ HB 1540: Uniform ADU standards and health ordinance fix. The big ADU cleanup bill. As amended, it establishes statewide uniform requirements for accessory dwelling units while clarifying that municipalities can still enforce DES septic system standards in the 250-foot shoreline protection buffer zone. Critically, it prevents towns from using local health ordinances as a backdoor tool to block ADU construction that otherwise complies with state law. Keeps ADUs by right while addressing legitimate environmental concerns near water. Housing committee voted OTPA 17-0. Consent calendar. ✅ HB 1681: Tiny houses and yurts as legal housing. Creates statutory definitions for tiny houses, tiny houses on wheels, and yurts as "innovative housing structures" and establishes a clear inspection, permitting, and local approval pathway. Allows them to be used as single-family dwellings or accessory dwellings. Subjects them to state building code so they're built to real safety standards. The committee worked directly with the State Fire Marshal, NH Building Officials Association, tiny house/yurt builders, and DES to avoid conflicts with existing law. Housing committee voted OTPA 17-0. Consent calendar. 🔥 HB 1004: Sprinkler exemption expansion. Currently, only detached 1- and 2-family homes are exempt from mandatory automatic fire sprinkler systems under RSA 153:5, RSA 153:10-a, RSA 155-A:10, and RSA 674:36. This bill extends that exemption to detached buildings with up to 4 dwelling units used for residential purposes. Sprinkler mandates add $10,000-$30,000+ per unit in construction costs and are one of the biggest hidden barriers to building small-scale multi-family housing like triplexes and fourplexes. Also protects existing buildings from retrofit requirements. Exec Depts committee recommended, floor date 3/11. 📝 HB 1619: Property Rights Omnibus. The most ambitious housing bill of the session. Would create an entirely new RSA chapter (674-A) codifying property owners' fundamental rights to use their land without excessive government interference. Limits zoning to the minimum necessary for health/safety/welfare, prohibits rent control, requires timely and transparent permit processing, bars municipalities from providing taxpayer-funded subsidies promoting specific housing types, limits use restrictions beyond minimal public regulations to private covenants or voluntary HOAs, and repeals the entire workforce housing program (RSA 674:58-61) in favor of market-based solutions. Housing committee voted 17-0 Refer for Interim Study to coordinate with the Zoning Enabling Act Commission's findings under RSA 674:23-a. The committee report explicitly endorsed the bill's principles. Floor vote on IS referral was 3/11. 📝 HB 1251: Anti-downzoning. Would add RSA 674:21-b prohibiting municipalities from denying residential construction permits when a licensed architect certifies the proposed density matches the surrounding neighborhood. Makes permit approval ministerial and non-discretionary, completely removing town planning board gatekeeping for density-consistent builds. The committee liked the concept but sent it to Interim Study 17-0, citing the need to define "surrounding neighborhood," standardize how density is measured, and address the fact that a similar bill failed in the Senate last year. Floor vote on IS referral was 3/11. ❌ HB 1713: Zoning conformity and redevelopment standards reform. ITL'd 17-0, but this was a procedural kill. The committee report explicitly says they folded the language into a different vehicle bill. The report mentions prioritizing "workable legislation that delivers results, particularly funding that supports NHDOT and its road and bridge obligations." Watch for where the language landed. Floor vote on ITL was 3/11. ❌ HB 1007: Manufactured housing reforms. Committee recommended ITL 17-0. Details on reasoning pending. Floor date was 3/11. ⏳ AWAITING COMMITTEE ACTION / PAST DUE ⏳ 🏘️ HB 1011: Full repeal of RSA 674:16, VIII. Where last year's HB 457 limited municipal occupancy restrictions (no fewer than 2 per bedroom, no discrimination by family status or student status), HB 1011 would wipe the section entirely, removing any statutory basis for municipal occupancy ordinances. Your property, your tenants, zero government involvement in who lives where. Hearing was 1/13, past due date. 🏘️ HB 1525: Rewrites RSA 674:16, VIII to require that municipalities allow at least 2 unrelated individuals per bedroom in single-family homes located in multi-family zones. Complements last year's HB 457 by specifically targeting the unrelated-persons occupancy caps that towns use to prevent roommate situations and keep density artificially low. Hearing was 1/22. 🏭 HB 1065: Multi-family and mixed-use development in commercially zoned areas. Another angle on strengthening the commercial-to-residential pipeline alongside HB 1010 and last year's HB 631. Hearing was 1/22, awaiting action. 🏠 HB 1026: Updates the definition of manufactured housing to better reflect modern construction methods and materials. Current statutory definitions are outdated and allow towns to discriminate against manufactured homes that are functionally identical to site-built housing. Hearing was 2/17, floor date was 3/11. 🔧 HB 1271: Third-party code review and inspection for building permits. Would let property owners hire private certified inspectors instead of waiting months in the municipal queue. Breaks the government monopoly on permitting timelines and lets the market speed up the approval process. Floor date was 2/12. 💰 HB 1690: Impact fee reforms. Impact fees are charges municipalities levy on new development, often set high enough to discourage building. Hearing was 1/20. 🔄 RETAINED FROM 2025 / STILL IN PLAY 🔄 📐 HB 459: Targets acreage requirements and sewer infrastructure zoning for single-family residential. Large-lot mandates (2+ acres per home in many towns) are one of the most effective NIMBY tools for keeping housing scarce and expensive by making each unit consume enormous amounts of land. This bill goes after the underlying zoning math that drives up lot sizes. Retained in House Housing. 📐 SB 84: Streamlines zoning procedures for residential housing. Cuts through the red tape that makes the approval process slow and unpredictable for builders. Passed the Senate in 2025, retained in House Housing committee. 🏠 HB 465: Housing opportunity zone program. Would create designated zones with streamlined permitting and reduced regulatory barriers for housing development. Retained in House Housing. 🏭 HB 685: Manufactured housing by right in all residentially zoned areas. A landmark bill that would end the practice of towns segregating manufactured homes into designated "parks" and let property owners place them on any lot where residential construction is allowed. Manufactured homes are often the most affordable path to homeownership but are effectively banned from most residential neighborhoods by local zoning. Passed the House with amendment. In Committee of Conference with the Senate. 🚫 SB 163: Repeals the authority for temporary moratoria on building permits and subdivision/site plan approvals. Towns currently use moratoria as an emergency brake to freeze all development when they see applications they don't like, sometimes for months or even years. This bill would eliminate that power entirely. Passed both chambers, in conference. 🛏️ SB 174: Bans planning boards from considering the number of bedrooms a unit or development has during the hearing and approval process. Bedroom caps are a sneaky density-control tool that towns use to limit occupancy without explicitly capping it. If a developer wants to build 3-bedroom units instead of 2-bedroom, the planning board shouldn't get a vote. Passed the Senate, now in House Housing. ⚖️ SB 435: Reforms ZBA variance criteria under RSA 674:33. The current standard for getting a zoning variance is so strict that many reasonable requests from property owners are denied. This bill loosens the criteria to make it easier for homeowners and developers to get relief from overly restrictive zoning. Passed Senate with amendment, now in House Judiciary. ⚠️ ANTI-LIBERTY BILLS TO WATCH ⚠️ 👎 HB 1006: Despite the title ("parking requirements for ADUs"), this bill actually removes property owner discretion over where ADU parking goes. Current law says ADU parking "may" be on-site or off-site "at the property owner's discretion." HB 1006 changes "may" to "shall" and replaces "at the property owner's discretion" with "as approved by the municipality." Hands towns a new veto over your parking choices. 👎 HB 1016: Eliminates the requirement that municipalities allow manufactured housing development opportunities. Pure NIMBY rollback that would let towns ban manufactured housing communities entirely. 👎 HB 1349: Creates a density-based NIMBY carve-out from the multi-family-on-commercial requirement (RSA 674:80). Would exempt any municipality with fewer than 250 residents per square mile from having to allow multi-family housing in commercial zones. That covers most of rural NH and would gut the entire intent of HB 631 and HB 1010 outside of the state's larger cities and towns. 🏛️ ALREADY SIGNED INTO LAW (2025) 🏛️ ✅ HB 457: Added RSA 674:16, VIII. Bans municipal occupancy ordinances that restrict dwelling units to fewer than 2 occupants per bedroom, or that discriminate based on family relationships, marital status, occupation, employment status, or educational status (including college students). Towns can no longer use zoning to keep out roommates, students, or unrelated adults sharing a house. Effective 9/13/25. ✅ HB 631: Added RSA 674:77-78. Requires municipalities to allow multi-family residential development on commercially zoned land where adequate infrastructure exists. Municipalities can still require ground-floor retail and must exempt adaptive reuse conversions from setback/height/frontage requirements if the building envelope doesn't change. A huge YIMBY win that opens up commercial corridors for housing. Effective 7/1/26. ✅ HB 296: Amended RSA 674:41 and RSA 676:5. Creates a new pathway for building permits along private roads (municipalities can authorize permits if the road meets adopted local policy, not just planning board case-by-case review) and replaces the ZBA's previously discretionary appeal timing with a firm 30-day window. Removes arbitrary delays from the system. Effective 9/13/25. The pipeline is stacked and NH is moving fast 🔥 ADU bills, tiny houses, manufactured housing by right, commercial-to-residential, occupancy deregulation, sprinkler relief, anti-downzoning, moratorium repeal, and the full property rights omnibus are all in motion. Key deadline: March 26 is crossover, the last day to act on all House bills. 👀🏠🏔️

“Any combination of logic gates (i.e., AND, OR, NOT) that the government cannot demonstrate a compelling interest in stopping is protected,” [Ammon] said. “This mirrors the First Amendment’s protection of the alphabet: the government cannot restrict how you combine letters without meeting that same high bar.”

INDY SKI PASS WILL MOVE TO NH This is great news for Granite Staters and our ski industry. Indy Pass has 300 ski resorts including our own. Key NH ones include: Cannon Mountain (Franconia) Waterville Valley Resort Ragged Mountain (Danbury) Pats Peak (Henniker) Black Mountain Ski Area (Jackson) Others like Tenney Mountain (Plymouth), Dartmouth Skiway (Lyme Center), McIntyre Ski Area (Manchester), and cross-country spots like Jackson XC or Great Glen Trails. If you are a skier, check them out.

Outdated regulation is holding back the biotech revolution. But this failure is New Hampshire's opportunity. Two bills by @KesselringSteve and @cole4nh will take the best pro-biotech laws from other states and adapt them to NH. @RepKeithAmmon and Dylan Livingston explain:

⚡️ Power to the people ⚡️ Masters of our own house⚡️ Updates on nuclear & energy legislation ⚡ 2026 SESSION ⚡ ☢️ HB 1775: Utility Ownership of Nuclear & Natural Gas Generation. Would let electric utilities directly own nuclear and natural gas power plants, reversing NH's restructured model where utilities were forced to divest generation assets. Re-referred to House Finance after amendment. 📅 In House Finance, due date 3/19 ☢️ SB 447: Advanced Nuclear Enabling Act (Senate version). Senate companion to last year's HB 221. Defines "advanced nuclear resource" in RSA 374-F:2, lets utilities issue RFPs for multi-year purchased power agreements, gives ANRs a higher procurement cap (2M MWh/yr vs 1M for other sources). 📅 In Senate Energy & Natural Resources, hearing was 1/8 ☢️ HB 221: Advanced Nuclear Enabling Act (House version). Passed the House in 2025, Senate amended and passed 1/7/26. Defines ANRs (Gen IV, SMRs, micro-reactors up to 300 MW), extends purchased power agreement RFP deadline from 2025 to 2040 under RSA 374-F:11, expands the nuclear coordinator role under RSA 162-B:4, allows procurement from existing nuclear plants. 📅 Back in the House, awaiting concurrence or Committee of Conference ⚡ HB 219: RPS Reform. Changes minimum electric renewable portfolio standards under RSA 362-F. 📅 Passed the House with amendment, sent to Senate 1/29/26. In Senate Energy & Natural Resources, awaiting hearing 💰 HB 1542: Ratepayer RPS Refund. Allows alternative compliance payments to the renewable energy fund to be refunded directly to ratepayers on a per-kWh basis. Stops the RPS from being a hidden tax. 📅 Ways & Means hearing was 3/9, due date 3/19 ✅ 2025 SESSION (already enacted) ✅ 🏛️ HB 690: ISO-New England Exit Study. SIGNED INTO LAW (effective 7/15/25). Added RSA 12-P:17 directing the Department of Energy to formally investigate NH's withdrawal from ISO-NE. DOE must answer 14 specific questions on exit costs/benefits, reliability, federal law impediments, alternative regulatory structures, and ISO-NE governance accountability. Report due July 2026. If it comes back favorable, expect actual exit legislation in 2027. 👀 🇺🇸 HCR 2: Pro-Nuclear Resolution. Passed the House. Declares advanced nuclear energy in the best interest of NH, notes nuclear provides ~60% of in-state generation, urges the NRC to expedite advanced reactor licensing. Awaiting Senate concurrence. New Hampshire is building the full stack: ISO-NE exit study results due this summer, advanced nuclear enabling legislation nearing the finish line, and utility ownership of generation back on the table. The Granite State is taking control of its energy future ⚡🏔️ @NuclearNH

Thank you to everyone who came out to our Party last night! More than two hundred of the most talented, accomplished, and aligned people in New Hampshire.

Thank you @freestatepty and @jeremykauffman for organizing a wonderful event surrounded by a great group of people. The future of New Hampshire looks very bright indeed.

Jeremy Kauffman is starting a Free State Party private club in New Hampshire. The state’s house majority leader @Osborne4NH, @travis4nh & someone whose name rhymes with Meter Feel are on the board.

Some of our extremist positions: - New Hampshire should colonize the moon - Liberty creates prosperity - Energy creates abundance - Humans are good, people should form families and have more of them Please be aware you will be associated with these views if you show up tonight

It's disgraceful for the NH Senate to indefinitely postpone this bill right as the swamp is trying to sacrifice our guardsmen in another America Last war. There is still time to demand that the Senate change their minds and pass this bill.

Leftists: I hate everyone. Everyone I hate is a Free Stater. Therefore… Everyone is a Free Stater. Free Staters have taken over.

In northern New Hampshire, there is drive known as “Moose Alley” it's a renowned 12-mile stretch of U.S. Route 3 in Pittsburg New Hampshire, extending north toward the Canadian border, famous for high concentrations of moose. It is considered one of the best places in the country to view moose, particularly during dawn and dusk in the spring, summer, and fall.

@LPVT802 Every post you've done on Iran has been about using the war to condemn right-libertarians, not about condemning the war itself. Prime example of Libertarians being antisocial tapeworms.

Today would be a good day to abolish ICE.

This is one of the most important things going on in New Hampshire right now. We must unshackle ourselves from the green new deal scams of the other member states. More nuclear, more natural gas!

I'm here to do everything in my power to make NH the libertarian homeland, get rich when NH becomes the freest, best place to do business ON THE PLANET, then fund a re-taking of Vermont to drive the marxists back to Brooklyn, Connecticut, and Taxachussetts.
