CONCORD — The New Hampshire Senate began its first session of the new year by overriding Gov. Chris Sununu’s veto of a bill allowing alternative treatment centers to have a for-profit or non-profit model, but sustained his veto of a firearms registry bill.
Senators went on to pass measures that prohibit local government entities from passing ordinances banning firearms and limiting a governor’s ability to suspend civil liberties during states of emergency.
