Governor Chris Sununu Statement on SB 314

Concord, NH - Today, Governor Chris Sununu issued the following statement pertaining to the House vote on SB 314, relative to the release of a defendant pending trial:

"Earlier this year I called for strengthening New Hampshire's bail reform law and I am pleased to see that the legislature has taken bipartisan action. It is critical to close loopholes that could potentially allow dangerous suspects from causing harm in our communities while they await trial. This bill is another step in the right direction."
