A quiet Wednesday at the New Hampshire legislature saw one bill move forward. SB 625 cleared committee and is now active, addressing a narrow but significant gap in the criminal justice system.
On the Move
SB 625 — Study Committee for Homicide Victims’ Families Sponsored by Sen. Regina Birdsell (R), this bill would establish a committee to study what options exist for family members of intentional homicide victims when the Department of Justice declines to file charges. Currently, families in that situation have no clear avenue for recourse or information. The bill moved from in-committee to active status today.
