It could just be taxed in private stores like other states handle it. We really don't need the state running things like they do the liquor stores. (Note, I'm generally happy with the state liquor store prices and selection but not the distribution of stores. And getting some unique brands is not possible here. I don't see the advantage to NH running consumer businesses.)

HB639 is allowing private stores to sell it, and it taxes it at the meals and rooms tax rate.

It is highly likely to pass the House this year (the sponsors are top leadership from both sides of the aisle).

As always, it's the Senate that is the stumbling block - I do not believe that Gov. Sununu would veto this legislation if it gets to their desk.

And if he vetoes it, I would love to see the outcome of the veto override voting.
