Amendment to HB1049!
We've just heard that an amendment has been added to HB1049. The amendment states that “no houseboat shall be anchored overnight for more than three consecutive nights in a one week period."
Enforcement, especially with the new proposed amendment, is highly problematic. How does our already overstretched and understaffed Marine Patrol keep track of which boat has moored which night in what changing location?
We've heard from a local State Representative that this bill and amendment will likely go nowhere. However, if you haven't yet contacted the full House, it is important to do so, and to voice your opposition to this amendment as well. If you have already emailed the full House, thank you, but feel free to email again.
It's extremely important to contact the full New Hampshire House to voice your opposition to this bill before Thursday.
You may copy all 21 committees at once (see below), then cut and paste it in the “to” section at the top of your email. You may then either copy your previous email to the Resources, Recreation and Development Committee or draft a new email. This one email will then go to all 400 state reps. Please begin your email with Dear NH Representative and remember to include your NH town(s) where you live or visit.

Your comments should address impacts to water quality, potential safety issues with regards to navigational hazards, and potential noise disturbances during the night. Please share this with others who may be interested.
