(The Center Square) — New Hampshire's Senate Republicans have unveiled a legislative agenda that includes banning foreign lobbyists, upholding "traditional" parental rights, holding the line on taxes and banning the use of SNAP funds for candy and other junk food.

A key plank of the Senate GOP's agenda for the new session, which got underway this week, calls for passing a constitutional amendment requiring a supermajority vote to raise taxes or create new taxes. New Hampshire has no income tax, but Republicans say the move is aimed at protecting taxpayers by blocking any future attempts to impose new levies.
