Bill Summary
This bill prohibits municipalities from banning the use of grounds maintenance and snow and ice removal equipment with internal combustion engines.
AI Summary
This bill prevents local governments, referred to as "local governing bodies," from banning the use of grounds maintenance and snow and ice removal equipment that are powered by internal combustion engines, which are engines that burn fuel internally to create power. However, a municipality can still vote to prohibit its own purchase of such equipment if a majority of its citizens approve. The bill also specifies that a "person" in this context refers to entities as defined in RSA 382-A:1-201(b)(27), which generally includes individuals and businesses.
