Bill > HB758

This bill establishes a temporary legislative committee to study airport operation hours in New Hampshire, specifically focused on noise abatement measures and potential flight restrictions during nighttime hours. The committee will consist of four members - three from the House of Representatives appointed by the Speaker and one from the Senate appointed by the Senate President - who will receive mileage reimbursement for their work. The committee's primary duties include investigating the possibility of prohibiting airplane flights between midnight and 6:00 a.m., examining the potential advantages and disadvantages of such a restriction, and identifying appropriate federal authorities to implement noise reduction strategies. The committee members will elect a chairperson, with the first meeting to be held within 45 days of the bill's effective date, and will require a quorum of two members. By November 1, 2025, the committee must submit a comprehensive report detailing their findings and recommendations to key state leadership, including the Speaker of the House, Senate President, House and Senate Clerks, Governor, and State Library. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage.
