The New Hampshire house voted today to repeal the Emergency Powers Act, which allows the government to take private property during a declared state of emergency.
The bill’s supporters call the Emergency Powers Act a government overreach.
Representative Brandon Giuda spoke in favor of the repeal saying, "We now have a large government agency that came out of 9/11, but if that agency doesn’t properly plan with all the hundreds of thousands of dollars that are going to it, it can come to your house and take things from you."
