Bill > HB1020

This bill proclaims Lake Winnipesaukee, a large freshwater lake located in central New Hampshire, as the official state lake of New Hampshire. The bill amends the state's Revised Statutes Annotated (RSA) by adding a new section to the existing law that specifically designates Lake Winnipesaukee with this honorary status. The new section, labeled 3:33, simply states that Lake Winnipesaukee is the official state lake, without providing additional details about the lake's significance. The bill includes a standard effective date provision, specifying that the law will take effect 60 days after its passage, which is a common legislative practice to allow time for implementation and public notification. By formally recognizing Lake Winnipesaukee in this way, the bill celebrates the lake's cultural and geographic importance to the state of New Hampshire.
