Update to Lake Related Legislation

[John Mercier]

By breaking it down into committees, the more bills can be reviewed in depth in each session. Especially important when similar or opposing bills are entering.


They can get roughly 14 times the work done, than if the public spoke on the floor for each bill.

The committee does most of the work roughing out the bill; but it is not the final word. If it was... a large part of the State residents would have no representation on the final bill.

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.

The objection will go by the wayside.
They will adopt the three day passes that the OHRV/snowmobiles use in other States.

Special permits with dates listed and an added charge for the cost of enforcement.

We saw this many decades ago when the cost of snowmobiling took a dramatic rise... finally settled out to a special weekend with Maine that would open reciprocity to solve all the on and off.

For the OHRV, special weekend event permits were granted.

The objection to this needs to be a much firm ground or it will just resurface during the next cycle.
