The New Hampshire Legislature's House Ways and Means Committee made headlines during their February 19, 2025 meeting with a decisive vote on a key motion. The committee voted 12 to 7 in favor of an "Inexpedient to Legislate" (ITL) motion regarding House Bill 669, effectively halting its progress.

Representative Almi confirmed that a minority report would be filed, indicating some dissent within the committee. This report will provide an alternative perspective on the bill, which sought to address significant issues related to taxation.

Following this, the committee turned its attention to House Bill 290. Representative Doucette proposed another ITL motion, which was seconded by Representative Ors. During the discussion, Representative Ors highlighted the mixed testimony received, noting both support and opposition to the proposed tax increases associated with the bill.

The outcomes of these motions signal a cautious approach from the committee regarding tax legislation, reflecting ongoing debates about fiscal policy in New Hampshire. As the committee continues its work, the implications of these decisions will likely resonate throughout the legislative session.
