All eyes are on the NH Senate today when they take up a number of controversial bills. On their docket are the following bills—medical marijuana, same sex marriage, transgender rights, repeal of the death penalty, and mandatory seat belts. The same sex marriage and transgender rights bills are recommended to be killed. The repeal of the death penalty is recommended for a one year study. The medical marijuana and mandatory seat belt bills are recommended for passage. It should be a lively session in the Senate. The House schedule is light with only a handful of bills on the regular calendar.
