A little follow up on the WinnFABS=NHLA theory. Below are some laws the NHLA have initiated. At the moment they are working on...

Requiring notification of a failed septic system at a purchase and sale agreement of waterfront property.

You may agree or disagree with some of their initiatives, however it seems clear they are a major force in improving our lakes.



NH LAKES initiated the following legislation:

Commission to study the leasing of state-owned shorefront property (2007)

Licensing rental agents of motorized watercraft (2007)

Permanent funding beginning in 2008 for milfoil prevention and research program (2006)

The Volunteer Lake Assessment Program (VLAP) and Coordinator position created in statute (2005)
