I tend to agree with this statement. I was surprised completely by this particular law when I began boating in NH. I do believe it is one that should be revised maybe not complete overturned but definitely revised.
All they have to do to keep people from permanently mooring somewhere as No Bozo suggests will happen is add a clause....
A amended law should include the following:
Mooring overnight is allow given the following
1) the vessel has antiquate bathroom facilities,
2) the vessel is not moored in the same general location for more the X number of nights
3) the vessel is moored and a safe a prudent manner based on the prevailing conditions and location
