HB1675 is a disheartening and deeply concerning bill. It is glaringly unconstitutional, politically motivated, and baseless -- an alarming legislative overreach designed solely to target and besmirch a vital organization. This bill demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of how the New Hampshire Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence (NHCADSV) operates. The NHCADSV serves as a grantee, pass-through entity, advocacy group, and community resource; furthermore, it is already subject to regular audits. I urge you to leave this organization alone to conduct its essential work. The NHCADSV is run by a committed and caring team that provides crucial services for victims and a voice for the voiceless, making our state a safer place. It really is humiliating to see something woven by vengeful social media conspiracists and keyboard warriors being brought to the Committee. No, you’re not going to uncover the next big Minnesota scandal – it’s just not there. The mere presentation of this bill is in itself a harmful act, and it is imperative that it does not pass.
