CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The New Hampshire Senate is back at the Statehouse for the first time since the building shut down during the coronavirus pandemic, but not in its usual spot.

Tuesday’s session is being held in Representatives Hall instead of the Senate chamber to allow the 24 members to maintain social distancing. Trying to make up for lost time, senators are expected to vote on nearly 200 bills, most of them combined into omnibus measures grouped by subject matter, such as health care, education and criminal justice.

The Senate voted unanimously for a package of bills related to prescription medication, including measures that would create a program to import generic drugs from Canada, limit copayments on insulin and require insurance coverage of epinephrine pens. They were less united on a bill intended to help workers during and after the pandemic.

Two Democrats joined the 10 Republicans to oppose an effort to permanently increase unemployment benefits by $100 a week. But Democrats came back together to pass the rest of that bill, which among other things calls for upgrading the computer system at the Department of Employment Security and providing personal protective equipment to workers.

Also on the agenda are several bills related to police. One would prohibit the use of chokeholds by officers in most circumstances. Another would require officers to be screened for mental stability before starting work.

Anything that passes the Senate will head back to the House, which will only be able to accept or reject the measures as is.
