Amendment to HB 86
Amend the bill by replacing all after the enacting clause with the following:
1 New Sections; Powers of Towns; Enforcement of Ordinances. Amend RSA 31 by inserting after section 39-b the following new sections:
31:39-c Administrative Enforcement of Ordinances. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a town may use the following provisions in the enforcement of its ordinances and regulations:
I. Any town may establish, by ordinance adopted by the legislative body, a system for the administrative enforcement of violations of any municipal code, ordinance, bylaw, or regulation and for the collection of penalties, to be used prior to the service of a formal summons and complaint. Such a system may be administered by a police department or other municipal agency. The system may include opportunities for persons who do not wish to contest violations to pay such penalties by mail. The system may also provide for a schedule of enhanced penalties the longer such penalties remain unpaid; provided, however, that the penalty for any separate offense shall in no case exceed the maximum penalty for a violation as set forth in RSA 31:39, III.
II. A written notice of violation containing a description of the offense and any applicable schedule of penalties, delivered in person or by first-class mail to the last-known address of the offender, shall be deemed adequate service of process for purposes of any administrative enforcement system established under paragraph I.
III. If the administrative enforcement system established under paragraph II is unsuccessful at resolving alleged violations, or in the case of a town that has not established such a system, a summons may be issued as otherwise provided by law, including use of the procedure for plea by mail set forth in RSA 31:39-d.
31:39-d Local Ordinance Citations; Pleas by Mail. In addition to any other enforcement procedure authorized by law, and regardless of whether a town has adopted an administrative enforcement procedure under RSA 31:39-c, a local official with authority to prosecute an offense under any municipal code, ordinance, bylaw, or regulation, if such offense is classified as a violation under applicable law, may issue and serve upon the defendant, in addition to a summons to appear in the district court, a local ordinance citation as set forth in this section. The defendant receiving such a citation may plead guilty or nolo contendere by mail by entering that plea as provided herein. If such a plea is accepted by the district court and the prescribed fine is paid with the plea by mail, the defendant shall not be required to appear personally or by counsel; otherwise the defendant shall appear as directed by the court. The following procedure shall be used:
I. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a complaint and summons may be served upon the defendant by postpaid certified mail, return receipt requested. Return receipt showing that the defendant has received the complaint and summons shall constitute an essential part of the service. If service cannot be effected by certified mail, then the court may direct that service on the defendant be completed as in other violation complaints.
II. The local ordinance citation shall contain:
(a) The caption: “Local Ordinance Citation, Town (City) of _________________”.
(b) The name of the offender, and address if known to the prosecuting official.
(c) The code, ordinance, bylaw, or regulation the offender is charged with violating.
(d) The act or circumstances constituting the violation.
(e) The place of the violation.
(f) The date, if any, upon which the offender received written notice of the violation by the municipality.
(g) The time and date, if any, upon which any further violation or continuing violation was witnessed subsequent to such written notice.
(h) The amount of the penalty that is payable by the offender. If the offense is a continuing one for which a penalty is assessed for each day the offense continues, the amount of the penalty shall be based on the number of days the violation has continued since the time notice was given to the offender, up to a maximum of 10 days’ violation charged in one citation.
(i) Instructions informing the defendant that the defendant may answer the citation by mail or may personally appear in court upon the date on the summons, and instructing the defendant how to enter a plea by mail, together with either the amount of the penalty specified in the citation, or a request for a trial.
(j) The address of the clerk of the district court where the plea by mail may be entered.
(k) A warning to the defendant that failure to respond to the citation on or before the date on the summons may result in the defendant’s arrest as provided in paragraph V.
(l) The signature of the prosecuting official.
III. Defendants who are issued a summons and local ordinance citation and who wish to plead guilty or nolo contendere shall enter their plea on the summons and return it with payment of the civil penalty, as set forth in the citation, to the clerk of the court prior to the arraignment date, or shall appear in court on the date of arraignment.
IV. Civil penalties collected by the district court under this section shall be remitted to the municipality issuing the citation. Whenever a defendant (a) does not enter a plea by mail prior to the arraignment day and does not appear personally or by counsel on or before that date or move for a continuance; or (b) otherwise fails to appear for a scheduled court appearance in connection with a summons for any offense, the defendant shall be defaulted and the court shall determine what the civil penalty would be upon a plea of guilty or nolo contendere and shall impose an administrative processing fee in addition to the civil penalty. Such fee shall be the same as the administrative processing fee under RSA 502-A:19-b, and shall be retained by the court for the benefit of the state.
V. The court may, in its discretion, issue a bench warrant for the arrest of any defendant who:
(a) Is defaulted in accordance with the provisions of paragraph IV of this section;
(b) Fails to pay a fine or other penalty imposed in connection with a conviction for a violation of a local code, ordinance, bylaw, or regulation which a court has determined the defendant is able to pay, or issues a bad check in payment of a fine or other penalty; or
(c) Fails to comply with a similar order on any matter within the court’s discretion.
VI. For cause, the court in its discretion may refuse to accept a plea by mail and may impose a fine or penalty other than that stated in the local ordinance citation. The court may order the defendant to appear personally in court for the disposition of the defendant’s case.
VII. The prosecuting official may serve additional local ordinance citations, without giving additional written notice or appeal opportunity under paragraph I, if the facts or circumstances constituting the violation continue beyond the date or dates of any prior citation. A plea of guilty or nolo contendere to the prior citation shall not affect the rights of the defendant with respect to a subsequent citation.
VIII. Forms and
rules for the local ordinance citation and summons shall be developed and
adopted by the

LEGISLATIVE ETHICS COMMITTEE
Proposed Amendments to the Ethics Guidelines
Following a public
hearing on April 13, 2009, the Legislative Ethics Committee unanimously voted
to adopt recommendations for changes to the Legislature’s Ethics Guidelines,
and to distribute the recommendations to the membership of
The Legislature’s
Ethics Guidelines have been in force since 1992. The Committee is charged by law with
recommending changes to the Guidelines, which are then put to approval votes in
the House and Senate.
Changes currently
recommended by the Committee are designed to harmonize the Guidelines with laws
adopted by the Legislature in recent sessions regulating acceptance of gifts,
honoraria and expense reimbursements.
Those laws generally prohibit legislators from accepting gifts in
connection with their official duties, subject to certain specific
exceptions. They also limit legislators’
acceptance of other payments in the form of honoraria or reimbursement of
expenses.
Previously, the
Guidelines regulated acceptance of gifts and other payments in more general terms. Incorporating the recent, more specific
statutory provisions into the Guidelines is designed to reduce potential for
confusion and to make the Guidelines a handy single source of information for
legislators and the public.
Specifically,
Committee’s recommended changes include:
·
adopting
statutory definitions of “expense reimbursement,” “family member,” “gift,”
“honorarium,” and “official business;”
·
incorporating
statutory requirements for reporting acceptance of expense reimbursements,
honoraria, and meals with a value greater than $25 consumed at meetings for discussion
of official business; and imposing on such meals an annual aggregate limit of
$250 from a single source;
·
simplifying
the definition of “financial interest;”
·
simplifying
the form for financial disclosure by legislators, (which may be further
simplified by currently pending legislation).
In
accordance with RSA 14-B:3, II, the Committee respectfully requests that the
Senate and House vote to approve the proposed amendments.

PRINCIPLES
OF PUBLIC SERVICE

II. Principle
Of Independent Objective Judgment
Legislators should employ independent objective judgment in performing their duties, deciding all matters on the merits free from conflicts of interest and both real and apparent improper influences.
III. Principle
Of Accountability
Legislators should assure that government is conducted openly, equitably and honorably in a manner that permits the citizenry to make informed judgments and hold government officials accountable.

THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
SUPREME COURT
In Case No. 2009-0251, Request
for an Opinion of the Justices (Voting Age in Primary Elections II),
the court on April 8, 2009, issued the following order:
The
following request of the senate for an opinion of the justices was adopted on
April 1, 2009, and filed with the supreme court on April 3, 2009:
SENATE RESOLUTION 1
Whereas, SB 21, “An act enabling certain persons to vote in primaries prior to turning 18 years of age,” is presently pending in the senate; and
Whereas, SB 21 would provide that a person who is 17 years of age and who otherwise meets voter eligibility requirements may vote at a state primary election or a presidential primary election preceding a general election at which the person will be 18 years of age; and
Whereas, in Opinion of the Justices (Voting Age in Primaries) issued by the Court on May 19, 2008 in response to the request of the House of Representatives in HR 32 adopted on April 23, 2008, the Court answered in the affirmative the question of whether SB 436 would violate Part I, Article 11 of the New Hampshire Constitution; and
Whereas, in the same Opinion of the Justices, the Court noted that it had not been asked and therefore did not opine upon whether SB 436 would infringe upon the associational rights of political parties guaranteed by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution; and
Whereas, the provisions of SB 21 are identical to SB 436; and
Whereas, the United States Supreme Court has recognized that the freedom of association protected by the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution includes partisan political organization; and
Whereas, a question has arisen as to whether the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution provide greater protection than do Part I, Article 11 and Part I, Article 32 of the New Hampshire Constitution of the associational rights of any political party such that the legislature may allow an otherwise qualified 17-year-old person to vote in a state or presidential primary that precedes a general election at which the person will be 18 years of age, in order to permit such persons to participate in choosing the party’s nominee for the general election; and
Whereas, it is important that this constitutional question be settled before the bill is enacted; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate:
That the justices of the supreme court be respectfully requested to give their opinion upon the following questions of law:
1. Would enactment of SB 21 to allow voting in a state primary and presidential primary election by 17-year-old persons who will be 18 years of age at the next general election, in order to allow such persons to participate in choosing the party’s nominee for the general election, infringe upon the associational rights guaranteed to political parties under the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution?
2. Do the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution provide greater protection than do Part I, Article 11 and Part I, Article 32 of the New Hampshire Constitution of the associational rights of political parties such that the legislature may allow an otherwise qualified 17-year-old person to vote in a state or presidential primary that precedes a general election at which the person will be 18 years of age, as would be permitted under SB 21?
3. If the Court answers the second question in the affirmative, would SB 21 be constitutional notwithstanding the Opinion of the Justices, No. 2008-292, issued on May 19, 2008?
That the clerk
of the senate transmit copies of this resolution and SB 21 to the Justices of
the
Typewritten memoranda on the
questions presented by the request may be furnished by any legislator,
attorney, organization, interested party, or member of the public on or before
April 22, 2009. An original and eight
copies of any memorandum must be filed with the clerk's office.
This order is entered by a single justice (Broderick, C.J.). See Rule 21(7).

Fox,
Clerk
