Where it stands

House: PASSED/ADOPTED · Senate: INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE

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 — OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT

Rep. Will Darby

Over the last several years, cyanobacteria has spread across an increasing number of New Hampshire’s lakes, closing beaches, threatening tourism, and keeping people from enjoying the water during the short summer period. The cyanobacterial mitigation loan and grant fund was established to help lake communities reduce the blooms causing these closures but, with no sustained funding source, it has run out of money. This bill increases existing annual mooring fees, which have not changed since the 1980s, by $25 with the increase targeting the cyanobacteria mitigation fund. While no single funding source can fully address the need to reduce the threat of cyanobacteria blooms, this bill follows the New Hampshire model where those who use a resource should contribute to it. The amendment clarifies the increase applies to all mooring types - public, congregate, and private. Vote 16-0.
