relative to requiring a criminal background check when applying for a fish and game guide license and relative to zoning and planning regulations for municipal parking.

This bill introduces three main policy changes: it requires new applicants for a fish and game guide license in New Hampshire to undergo a criminal background check using fingerprints or alternative police clearances, it strengthens restrictions on carrying or selling certain weapons like blackjacks and slung shots to individuals under 18, and it grants local governments the authority to regulate accessory parking in residential complexes of ten or more units. The background check requirement places the cost on the applicant and mandates that the state police conduct the check through both state and federal records. The weapon restrictions prohibit anyone under 18 from carrying specific items and make it a violation for adults to sell or transfer them to minors. Additionally, the parking provision allows municipalities to set parking space requirements for multi-unit housing but limits them to one space per unit, with an exception allowing one-and-a-half spaces per two-bedroom unit in larger complexes.
