Maddy summaryThis bill updates rules regarding tree stands, observation blinds, and game cameras on private land in New Hampshire. It extends the season for placing portable tree stands and observation blinds from April 25 to June 1 and from August 1 to December 31, while requiring their removal by June 1 unless the property owner grants permission. The legislation also mandates that all such equipment be labeled with the owner's contact information and clarifies that property owners may contact law enforcement to remove unauthorized items. Additionally, the bill adjusts the expiration dates for property owner permits and explicitly allows state officials to use electronic tracking devices on private land only with written landowner consent or a scientific permit.
Maddy summaryHB 1633 would have legalized and regulated the sale of cannabis in New Hampshire by creating a new state framework similar to the existing alcohol industry. The bill proposed establishing a licensing system for various businesses, including growers, manufacturers, distributors, and retail stores, while mandating age verification and prohibiting marketing directed at minors. It also included provisions to fund education and treatment programs using tax revenue from legal sales and to ensure all products are tested for safety and contaminants. Although the bill passed a conference committee, it ultimately failed to become law after being removed from the table and the legislative session ended.
