CONCORD, NH – House Majority Leader Jason Osborne released the following statement after Republicans passed HB592, a bill which makes critical fixes to New Hampshire’s runaway bail system.
“Granite Staters deserve to be safe and feel safe in their communities. House Republicans were proud to join Governor Kelly Ayotte, Manchester Mayor Jay Ruais, all ten County Sheriffs, and a bipartisan coalition of Mayors to ensure that we made critical fixes to New Hampshire’s bail system,” said Osborne.
“Upholding law and order and finishing our work to fix New Hampshire’s bail system were a key part of the mandate which voters handed us when they sent a Republican trifecta to Represent them in Concord. It is no surprise that House Democrats decided to turn their back on their constituents and adopted a feckless and irresponsible wait-and-see attitude when it comes to ending our revolving door bail system.”
Background:
HB592, relative to magistrates and the standards applicable to and the administration of bail, passed the New Hampshire House on a vote of 204-175
