Not on this.
This is a housekeeping move.
Nothing stops them from working on the issue over the summer and entering a new LSR for next session.
At that time, they would most likely have a more comprehensive bill.
The basic premise that access to a public body of water is being impeded accept for the select few - I can agree with that.
I used to walk down and get in my boat, travel from Belmont to Chemung to fish/hunt.
At that time, there was really no public ramp on Winnisquam. The Laconia ramp has made public boating access easier, but it is limited. And if you have to pay a private party to access a property that you are an owner of - what does that really say about being an owner?
But trying to place it back in committee... with so much to be done already... just not a great idea.
The proponents should return next session with either a study committee bill, or something much more comprehensive.
