Bill > HB513

This bill allows the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (DOT) to enter into a specific right-of-way use agreement that would permit snowmobile operation along a one-mile stretch of Interstate 89 in the town of Sutton, starting from NH Route 114 and traveling south. The agreement is contingent upon receiving approval from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), which is the federal agency responsible for overseeing highway infrastructure and use. This type of agreement is unusual, as interstate highways are typically not open to snowmobile traffic, making this a unique local accommodation that would provide snowmobilers with an authorized route through this particular area. The bill includes a standard implementation clause stating that the act will take effect 60 days after its passage, which is a common legislative timing mechanism to allow for administrative preparation and public notification.
