HB 1705 is signed into law, expanding access to confidential mental health and wellness services for volunteer first responders across New Hampshire.

Hear from the bill's prime sponsor, Rep. Loren Selig (D-Durham), about why this new law matters.

So glad to see this!

If this program sounds like something you or a loved one could benefit from, call or visit your local DMV to inquire.

It is completely voluntary, so folks do need to request an envelope, & it also helps to keep the wheels turning toward full implementation/awareness.

This. Absolutely this.
Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

The outright lies coming from this administration are absolutely deplorable.

Banning medical care for trans kids doesn’t stop them from being trans. It just makes their lives into a horrible nightmare.

Let's be clear: This NH budget crisis is not a bipartisan failure. It is a Republican-made disaster. They had the majority. They had the time. They had the responsibility. And they blew it.
