N.H. Senate hearings on legalization and annulment scheduled for April 25th, 2024!

On Thursday, April 25, the Senate Judiciary Committee will be holding hearings on two bills that would transform cannabis policy in the Granite State — legalization bill HB 1633 and annulment/resentencing bill HB 1539.

This is Gov. Sununu’s last year in office, and the next governor may be unwilling to sign any legalization bill. We can’t let this opportunity to end prohibition slip away.

We’re urging the Senate Judiciary Committee to pass both bills and to make modest revisions to HB 1633 to address the issues outlined by the governor and avoid his veto. However, it’s also important the Senate avoid a complete rewrite of the bill, which could result in a non-concurrence in the House.  

Make your voice heard, either in written testimony or in person:

When: Thursday, April 25 — starting at 1:30 p.m., with HB 1539 first

Where: Room 100, State House, Concord, NH

What: Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on legalization bill HB 1633 and annulment/resentencing bill HB 1539.
