Summary:
The Special Committee on COVID Response Efficacy met briefly without a quorum because many members were tied up in legislative committee of conference work. The chair said the committee would resume in June and, in the meantime, directed members to the committee webpage and the 2024 committee’s report and COVID-19 after-action report, which he said could be reviewed for possible updates and legislative recommendations on how New Hampshire should respond to future pandemics.
The chair then introduced two recent articles as framing material: one about the U.S. Supreme Court declining to hear a challenge to the Los Angeles Unified School District’s COVID vaccine mandate, and another about CDC internal emails and alleged failure to publicly acknowledge vaccine safety signals. He argued these examples raised concerns about mandates, transparency, and the balance between individual rights and public health, and said the committee would revisit the issue in future meetings. Representative Pollazok thanked the chair for presenting both legal and medical perspectives and suggested the committee focus on reviewing scientific methodology and the quality of evidence behind competing claims.
A member asked whether vaccine pamphlets now include risks and benefits, and the chair responded that FDA-approved products should have patient inserts available on the FDA website, including sections listing adverse events from clinical studies and commercial use. He said he would research and email the committee copies or excerpts. Members also discussed how to evaluate studies over different time periods, dosing levels, and the timing of side effects, as well as the difficulty of comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated outcomes when definitions change over time.
Before adjourning, the chair said the committee would ask the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services how it would monitor and assess vaccine or pandemic-related issues in real time and whether additional structures would be needed in a future emergency. He said the committee would likely take July and August off, resume in September, and aim to have a draft report by mid-October and a final report by late October ahead of the November elections.

Summary:
The House first took up Senate Bill 214, relating to pre-kindergarten education in geographically isolated school districts. After third reading, the chamber voted by voice to pass the bill in concurrence. The House then recessed briefly before returning to Senate Bill 326, a motor vehicle bill with several proposed amendments.
On S. 326, the House adopted an amendment from Representative Burke clarifying that the DMV could not use the bill to change emissions-inspection rules. It then adopted an amendment from Representative Tomlinson adding a website-based public notice step to the abandoned-vehicle process, intended to supplement certified-mail notice and help owners protect their property; the committee reported support for the change, and the DMV testified in favor. Representative Noise then offered an amendment to move non-commercial vehicle inspections to every other year while keeping annual emissions compliance unless federal approval is obtained, but after explaining the proposal, he asked leave to withdraw it, and no objection was made. The House then passed S. 326 in concurrence with proposal of amendment and suspended the rules to message its action to the Senate forthwith.
Finally, the House considered House Bill 674, relating to the Vermont Sister State Program. On a procedural motion, the chamber voted to commit the bill to the Committee on Commerce and Economic Development. A member asked whether the referral was intended to fix the bill or delay it, and the chair said the committee was working on another way to address the governor’s concerns and would revisit the issue the next day. The House then recessed until 3:30 p.m.

Summary:
The Conference Committee on House Bill 244 met to resolve remaining drafting issues in the bill updating and recodifying municipal enforcement of building and fire codes. The chair explained that the measure is largely a technical recodification, moving statutory references and correcting broken cross-references after review by the subcommittee, the Senate, AI-assisted checking, and the Building Code Review Board. Members emphasized that Amendment 2026-1923H contains no policy changes, only reference updates and language cleanup to ensure the bill points to the correct current RSA sections.
The committee then discussed a few specific drafting questions, including a reference on page one and language on page two concerning the phrase “remove the prohibition on a building permit.” Some members questioned whether that wording should instead describe a variance or exception, but the chair and Representative Darji explained that the language is intended to allow an applicant to return to the zoning board to remove a prohibition attached to a specific building permit, not to broadly eliminate the underlying rule. The committee also noted a corrected reference to current statutory language because the underlying law had changed since the bill was introduced.
After the explanation, the House receded from its position of non-concurrence and concurred with the Senate amendment as further amended by 2026-1923H. Members agreed to place the measure on the House consent calendar, and the committee adjourned.

Summary:
Representative Schomacker delivered a lengthy farewell-style floor speech reflecting on his path into public service, from growing up around news and debate, to starting a teenage Republican group, serving as a page, and eventually being unexpectedly recruited to run for office. He described being elected despite early polling that had him far behind, and said the experience taught him to hold competing viewpoints at once and to focus on getting work done rather than ideological tests.
He then reviewed major policy accomplishments from his legislative career, especially in health and human services. He highlighted work on the Lewis and Clark water project for Luverne, the competitive workforce factor in disability waiver rates, expansion of bed capacity at Regions Hospital, and, most prominently, the overhaul of long-term care nursing home funding to a value-based reimbursement system. He emphasized that these efforts required extensive research, negotiation, and input from stakeholders, and said they helped support local care, businesses, and communities.
Schomacker also spoke about the importance of long-term care in his district, the aging population, and the role nursing homes play in emergencies. He thanked family, staff, colleagues, mentors, and friends for their support over 16 years in the Legislature, sharing several personal anecdotes and expressing gratitude for the relationships built across party and committee lines. The speech ended with applause and well-wishes; no formal vote or bill action occurred in the excerpt.

Summary:
Representative Bennett of Freeborn delivered a farewell floor speech reflecting on her 12 years in the Minnesota House. She described how a neighbor first encouraged her to run for office after she had been teaching first grade, and said she was motivated by her former students and a desire to preserve opportunities and freedoms for them. She characterized her service as a privilege and honor, while also noting the frustrations of legislative work, especially long floor speeches.
She shared several personal memories, including a humorous prank involving former Representative Dennis Smith’s candy jar and a memorable bonding committee visit to the Hennepin County Coroner’s building. She also cited a recent high point as the passage of the anti-grooming bill. Bennett said she wanted to be remembered as someone who truly cared and as a “bridger of gaps” between political and geographic divides, emphasizing that differences can be addressed without compromising principles.
Bennett explained that she was choosing to term-limit herself after 12 years, saying she had long supported term limits and did not view legislative service as a career. She thanked House staff, committee administrators, nonpartisan research staff, the chief clerk, sergeant-at-arms staff, troopers, and her colleagues, whom she said had become like family. She closed by reading Psalm 37 and thanking everyone in and outside the chamber, saying her departure was “see you later,” not goodbye.

Summary:
This was a farewell floor speech by Representative Moller of Ramsey reflecting on her service in the Minnesota House and thanking constituents, volunteers, family, friends, staff, and colleagues. She singled out her son and father, noted mentorship from Melissa Hortman, and expressed appreciation for bipartisan work, especially on gender-based violence issues and with Chair Novotny. She also spoke warmly about Minnesota and the people she has met across the state, saying they made her proud to serve.
A major theme of the speech was courage and civic responsibility. Moller praised Minnesotans who welcomed immigrants, respected tribal nations, and supported equity and justice, and she referenced recent tragedies and public responses, including the June 14 events, the vigil for Mark and Melissa, the Annunciation families, and community support during a federal occupation. She also mentioned lawmakers speaking out against racial profiling and harm from HR 1, and recalled the 2021 House resolution condemning the January 6 insurrection and affirming support for democracy, the rule of law, and free and fair elections.
She urged members to continue showing courage, warning against silence in the face of wrongdoing and comparing the moment to The Emperor’s New Clothes, where someone must speak the plain truth. The speech ended with gratitude for Minnesota and the institution, and the chamber responded with applause.

Summary:
Representative Tim O’Driscoll delivered a farewell floor speech marking his retirement from the Minnesota House and requested a roll call at the start. He reflected on his 16 years in the chamber, his first election after serving as mayor of Sartell, and the importance of relationships, bipartisanship, and learning how the Legislature works. Much of the speech was personal, including stories about his parents, his father’s service as a police chief, and how those experiences shaped his commitment to public service.
He also highlighted several policy and institutional accomplishments, including work on school trust lands and the School Trust Fund Commission, which he said helped double the fund for Minnesota children, as well as pension work and restoring earlier pension cuts. He thanked colleagues from both parties, former and current co-chairs, and House staff for helping him get work done, especially during difficult periods such as the split House and the COVID-era remote meetings.
O’Driscoll closed by thanking members’ families and House staff, offering a special shout-out to Representative Paul Thorkelson for support during his freshman year, and saying he hoped his career would be remembered for the relationships built and the future being created for Minnesota.

Minnesota House Floor Meeting
Summary:
Representative Frazier delivered an emotional floor speech reflecting on his personal journey from Chicago to Minnesota and how his experiences shaped his public service. He spoke about growing up inspired by Harold Washington’s “rainbow coalition,” his time at the University of Minnesota Morris, and the lessons he learned from small-town communities about the need for jobs, education, dignity, respect, and opportunity. He also expressed grief over losing Melissa, saying it reminded him not to take time or people for granted.
Frazier thanked colleagues on both sides of the aisle, legislative staff, and leaders who gave him opportunities, saying Minnesota had given him a chance to grow into a legislator, leader, and public servant. He emphasized that the Legislature had worked together during difficult times, including the current budget session and the “Corona class” period, and said that cooperation across party lines had benefited the state.
He closed by urging members and staff to appreciate each moment, continue the work, and remember the importance of service. The speech ended with applause; no formal vote or legislative action was taken in the excerpt.

Summary:

Summary:
Representative Feist delivered a farewell retirement speech on the House floor, reflecting on her service and the legacy she hopes to leave. She said she would not miss the internet, being called “honey” by strangers, going viral, wearing blazers, or what she described as a legislative culture that can encourage groupthink, discourage cross-party questioning, and make it harder to see one another’s humanity. She urged leaders to create more structures and incentives for members to truly hear each other and trust one another.
She also shared what she will miss: the camaraderie and “family” of the House, the humor and support of colleagues, the process of negotiating bills with people holding different views, and the opportunity to visit a wide range of places and communities through her work. She thanked nonpartisan research staff, House staff, colleagues, her family, and several individuals by name for their support, including help with her campaigns and with balancing public service and family life.
The speech was emotional and lighthearted at times, drawing laughter from the chamber. It concluded with Feist saying it had been an honor to represent New Brighton, Columbia Heights, and St. Anthony, and that she would remain outspoken after leaving office. The House responded with applause.

Summary:
Representative Reyer delivered a farewell floor speech as she prepared to move to the Senate, thanking House staff, colleagues on both sides of the aisle, her predecessors Laurie Halverson and Sandy Meehan, her constituents, family, caucus, and the “Corona class.” She reflected on entering the House during early COVID, after George Floyd’s murder and amid wildfire smoke, and said her constituents sent her to fight for justice, affordable health care, and a future where Minnesotans can afford their lives.
She highlighted policy accomplishments she said were often bipartisan, including medical debt and garnishment reform, treatment access for children with rare diseases, support for Medicaid dental care, housing and bonding funding, solar on public buildings, and stability for soil and water conservation districts. She also pointed to disappointments, saying the House had seen health care stripped from immigrant neighbors, duplicate health plans, families left without needed home care, underinvestment in disability services, and no Republican support for protecting people from future ICE incursions.
Reyer closed by calling for protection of human rights, including for queer and trans people, reproductive rights, immigrants, tribal sovereignty, and voting rights, and urged members to listen to one another, honor agreements, reject divisiveness, and govern with compassion. She also thanked Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman for her leadership. The transcript does not indicate any vote or formal action taken during the speech.
