CONCORD — A bill to temporarily limit increased compensation for hospital executives after a major layoff in areas like Coos County, which is an economically distressed area, was tabled at the call of state Sen. Sue Prentiss (D-Lebanon) on Thursday.

House Bill 664-FN’s sponsor Sen. David Rochefort (R-Littleton) said the vote to table won’t kill the bill unless no action is taken by the end of the session to take it off the table. He called it more of a “long pause” on his way home after the session Thursday.
