Press Release from Governor Chris Sununu May 31, 2024 Today, Governor Chris Sununu issued the following statement regarding HB 1003, relative to name changes for inmates, parolees, and convicted felons:
“It is our shared responsibility to provide for the protection of the most vulnerable among us, especially children and victims of violent crime,” said Governor Chris Sununu. “In signing this bill, the State of New Hampshire is safeguarding victim rights by increasing notification requirements to victims and their families.” “We are grateful to Governor Sununu for recognizing the significance of this legislation, which will put important safeguards in place to ensure violent offenders can’t simply erase their past and escape accountability through a name change,” said Amanda Grady Sexton, Director of Public Affairs, NH Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence. “We were honored to support several courageous survivors in advocating for the passage of HB1003 this session and are thankful to the lawmakers who heard survivors’ stories and worked with them to make this critical change to state law.” |
