Bill > HB561

This bill requires the state of New Hampshire to obtain approval from the selectmen, who are elected officials representing a town's legislative body, of the town where a class I or class II highway is located before the state can dispose of it, provided the highway is still being used by the public for driving. This change applies to highways that are still in use and would prevent the state from discontinuing, reclassifying, or reverting these types of highways if the local town officials object. The bill amends existing laws related to the disposal of state-owned real property, including property purchased with state or federal highway funds or turnpike funds, by adding this requirement for local municipal approval.
