Where it stands

House: PASSED/ADOPTED WITH AMENDMENT · Senate: PASSED/ADOPTED

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. Tanya Donnelly

This bill proposes to simplify the permitting process by eliminating the redundant minimum impact expedited permit in favor of the more efficient permit by notification process, reducing confusion and enabling faster processing times. It also modernizes the statute by allowing local advisory committees to waive investigation rights, similar to local conservation commissions, and removing the New Hampshire Rivers Council from the statute, as it is a private organization without jurisdictional authority. Additionally, granting the NH Department of Environmental Services rulemaking authority for adaptive permitting during natural disasters ensures timely, flexible responses to emergencies, protecting public safety and property more effectively. This has a fiscal note for an anticipated indeterminate reduction in expenditures of less than $10,000, resulting from increased efficiencies directly related to the elimination of redundant processes and forms. Vote 16-0.
