At the urging of those who have been victimized by violent crime, the New Hampshire Senate unanimously approved a bill Thursday to make it harder for people convicted of certain felonies to hide their criminal record by changing their name.
Five victims who shared their stories with lawmakers attended Thursday’s vote alongside representatives from the New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence, which touted House Bill 1003 as a common-sense step to improve accountability and public safety. The bill requires people with certain criminal convictions to demonstrate their name-change request is “necessary” and notify certain authorities, so victims have an opportunity to object.
