STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Twelve
AN ACT relative to boat operation rules.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
67:1 New Paragraphs; Operating Restrictions. Amend RSA 270:12 by inserting after paragraph II the following new paragraphs:
III. Persons petitioning the commissioner requesting a change of use or restriction of the use of any public waters shall notify, by certified mail, all abutters with deeded waterfront property or deeded water access rights of the proposed change or restriction and the department shall post the petition on its official website at least 2 weeks prior to a public hearing scheduled by the department.
IV. In this section, “abutter” means any person who owns property immediately adjacent and contiguous to the area on which the change of use or restriction of use will take place. If the change of use or restriction of use is located in an area which by its configuration would cause the change or restriction to affect noncontiguous properties, owners of those properties are considered as abutters. The term does not include the owner of a parcel of land located more than 1/4 mile from the limits of the proposed change or restriction.
67:2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
Approved: May 15, 2012
Effective Date: July 14, 2012
