The preliminary agenda includes:
Tuesday, December 15:
- Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund & Taxes: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a dramatic impact on New Hampshire’s unemployment trust fund. It appears likely that the fund will be completely depleted sometime during the first quarter 2021. Learn about strategies to mitigate higher unemployment insurance taxes on employers.
- PFAS & Packaging: There is growing concern among businesses about over-regulation of PFAS chemicals, many which are inert and used in packaging materials and health care. Learn more about the importance of these chemicals and why NH should be cautious about generalizing PFAS chemicals in state policies.
- Fixing the State Budget Hole: Governor Sununu estimates that COVID-19 has created up to a $200 million deficit in the current budget making crafting the next two-year budget next session even more difficult. Hear strategies from state budget writers on addressing the fiscal shortfall and building a new two-year state budget.
Wednesday, December 16:
- Setting The Record Straight on 5G Technology: A legislative commission has released a report expressing concerns for public health with the roll out of new 5G technology. A minority report tried to balance and correct misleading information. Now you can hear from the technology companies themselves about the benefits of new high-speed 5-G technology.
- Factors Affecting Business Location Decisions: Manufacturing drives New Hampshire’s economy in ways no other sector does. Learn about key factors that determine where these employers locate and grow.
- The Case for a Legal Safe Harbor: Employers are increasingly concerned about exposure to unwarranted litigation due to the pandemic. Learn more about this pressing fear and how policymakers in other states are addressing it.
