Where it stands
House: CONCURRED · Senate: PASSED/ADOPTED WITH AMENDMENT
Every floor vote on this bill was a voice or division vote, so there is no record of how individual legislators voted.
A bill goes on the consent calendar when the committee vote was unanimous or nearly so, and any members who dissented did not object to placing it there. It then passes without floor debate. Ten members may file a petition to pull a bill off the consent calendar and have it debated and voted on separately.

Committee reports
Reproduced from the House Calendar in the committee’s own words.
Committee — OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT
The committee unanimously agreed with this bill, as amended. It allows the Fish&Game Director, in consultation with the Fish&Game Commission, to create permits and fees to be paid by other departments within NH when they require the use of F&G resources beyond the normal departmental responsibilities, such as when DES or Ports and Harbors requires F&G biologist appraisal of land or ocean bed before a change of use permit is granted, or federally funded dredging takes place. As amended it also allows F&G to use a portion of their lifetime license funds held in the dedicated fund to modernize and update the online licensing program to decrease costs and increase efficiency. Vote 14-0.
