Fair and Honest Disclosure
URGENT! The Senate will be voting on HB203 tomorrow, April 13th. Get your Senator's contact info here (or start here if you need to determine who your Senator is). Contact your Senator TODAY and ask them to vote for HB203!
RFID lobbyists have already had their say with your government! Therefore, we strongly encourage members to call the following 6 Committee members, and ask them to support HB203. Citizens who thus happen to be calling their own senators should also let them know they are direct constituents; their opinions will carry more weight as potential voters. After you've contacted them, please .
Simply, HB203 would:
 |
require labeling for products containing RFID tags |
|
|
put restrictions on State Government use of this tracking technology |
|
|
ban human implantation without informed consent |
Talking points:
|
|
The House Commerce Committee spent a lot of time listening to all sides of this issue. They carefully crafted a compromise that would weigh lightly on the industry, but still allow consumers to be informed and protect their privacy. |
|
|
This is a labeling bill only. Consumers have a right to know if they are purchasing something that can be used to identify and track them later. What, after all, is the compelling argument for such secrecy? |
|
|
Indeed, we require full disclosure of even what's in the bottled water we buy. Why should potential incursions on our privacy be any less important? |
|
|
By setting a fair and reasonable standard, we will encourage other states to do the same. |
|
|
New Hampshire has a long tradition of respecting the privacy of its citizens; this bill would continue that tradition. |
|
|
Privacy is an issue everyone can appreciate; this bill has strong bipartisian support. |
