  • HB 398, Amending the Masonicare charter. Not particularly interesting on its own, however, there is no RSA that the bill says it’s amending. And it raised a few questions in my head. Why does the state of NH have anything to do with the freemasons? Why does the state have to amend their charter since they are a private organization? Why couldn’t I find more info on Masonicare laws in NH?
