State representative and liberty lover Tim O’Flaherty of Manchester has put forth a bill that repeals the act of adultery as a crime, which according to the state, hasn’t been enforced in a decade. Â It’s amazing that any police resources were spent on such a ridiculous investigation even a decade ago!
The bill was overwhelmingly passed by the NH house in a 268-29 vote. Â The senate votes today and according to WCVB, governor Maggie Hassan has pledged to sign the bill if it reaches her desk.
I’ll update this story as the senate vote is revealed.
UPDATE (6:44p) – this has passed the NH senate in a voice vote. Â Presuming Hassan signs it as she’s pledged to, the repeal goes into effect on Jan 1st, 2015.
It *is* possible to change the system for more freedom in NH. Â Please come here and join us as part of the Free State Project.
