CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - Another day, another batch of bills vetoed by Republican Gov. Chris Sununu.
Sununu vetoed 10 bills on Wednesday, bringing his total to the year to 23. The latest round included bills that would have prohibited employers from using an applicant’s credit history in making hiring decisions and would have prohibited employers from requiring applicants to provide their salary histories. Sununu said both bills were part of a larger effort to impose more regulations on businesses.
Rep. Brian Sullivan, a Grantham Democrat who chairs the House Labor Committee, said the bills were aimed at ensuring privacy and fairness for applicants. He says no one in the “Live Free or Die” state should be forced to provide irrelevant personal information that might result in employment discrimination.
