The amendment passed the House Finance Committee last night. It's not done quite yet... From the Concord Monitor: "If the House passes the amendment next week, it would return to the Senate, where a different amendment proposal passed earlier this year. If this new version clears both chambers, it would go on the ballot, where it would need the approval of two-thirds of voters. Even with the changes to the proposal, it will likely face opposition in the House.

Yesterday, members of the House Finance Committee voted 20-5 to recommend that the full House support the compromise proposal. The five opponents included four Democrats and one Republican."

The Union Leader reports the same, it passed the House Finance Committee last night, full house vote is Wednesday.
