Reps (and Senators) can get such info researched by Legislative Services. New reps are less likely to do this in advance, but after they have filed their request for a bill to be drafted. The bill filing period is very short, so a lot gets done later in the process. New reps are also less likely to go to the relevant committee chair to find out what has passed or failed over the years. I don't know anything about Rep. Bordes, just what I've learned about the process.
For me, NH stands alone on many issues. Doesn't matter what they do in the nanny states like NY.
If Lake George is wholly contained within a National Park (is it?), then the speed limit there may not be a NY law and Rep. Bordes could be technically correct.
