President Biden signed a package of firearms regulations last month. But how smoothly will those federal rules roll out in New Hampshire? A new state law bars local officials from helping to enforce new federal firearms laws.

And people will now be able to access dental care under Medicaid coverage in New Hampshire, but tens of thousands of Granite Staters could lose their Medicaid coverage this fall. We cover that and more on this edition of the New Hampshire News Recap.

Guests:

  • Alli Fam, NHPR
  • Ethan DeWitt, New Hampshire Bulletin
