relative to recovery houses.

Maddy summaryThis bill updates state laws to clarify what constitutes a recovery house and ensures these facilities are treated the same as regular homes in local zoning rules. It defines a recovery house as a substance-free residence centered on peer support for people recovering from addiction, while explicitly excluding licensed boarding or halfway houses. Under the new provisions, these homes would not need special permits or site plan reviews if they are located in existing single-family, two-family, or multi-family buildings. To operate legally, the homes must either be certified or actively pursuing certification within one year of opening, and operators must notify local officials at least 30 days before starting.

prohibiting the private ownership of landfills.

Maddy summaryThis bill prohibits private individuals or companies from owning new landfills in New Hampshire, requiring that any future facilities be owned by the state or a local municipality. While the state or local governments would own these sites, they could still hire private companies to manage and operate the daily functions of the landfills. Existing private landfills that were fully permitted and actively accepting waste as of December 1, 2023, are allowed to remain under private ownership and may expand or modify their operations. The law is designed to shift ownership of new waste disposal sites to public entities while ensuring private expertise is utilized for operations.
