METHODOLOGY:
This bill increases the fee for operating an agitating or heating device in public waters from 50 cents per registration to five dollars per property. This bill also changes the retention period for registrations from permanent to one year after expiration of the registration. The New Hampshire Municipal Association and Department of Safety state information regarding how many devices are currently used or the locations in which they are used is not known. This will result in an increase in municipal revenues to the extent a property owner registers such a device.
