No more reciprocal weekend

Is it really that difficult for the state of NH to change the date on the reciprocity weekend to align it with ME and VT? Is the state really that useless?

Answer - Apparently so since it probably took more effort to put out a statement announcing there is no reciprocity weekend than it would have been to just fix the damn date.

My understanding is the House and the Senate would need to change the law and they are not in session.

It would have been far better if the state legislators thought ahead in the sense that all the language is fine with the exception of stating a specific weekend in the law instead of leaving this open ended where the weekend could be set at any time at the discretion of the F&G so long as the requirements for reciprocity as described are met.

Considering there are three states involved it's probably fair to think that at some point changes may occur in which case allowing the NH law some fluidity makes it easier to adjust to any changes without having to call law makers into session and waste time authoring a new law or debating something that otherwise could be solved easily within the authority of the entity that has been granted oversight in the first place. Seems like a reasonable thing to do, hopefully that is exactly what they consider if the law is going to be amended. Although I would stipulate that this authority cannot be punted to the NHSA
