I thought the speed limit folks chose going this route in order to bypass the legislative process (which they lost once) and that the commissioner has the final yay or nay decision. |

If the Joint Legislative Committee on Administrative Rules takes no action during the allowed review process then the rule becomes law for a certain window of time, depending on the type of rule invoked. You can read and learn about the entire process here. Skip |

I was there...
It was the same arguments and horror stories heard last year. The sponsors of the petition had no new info other than thier horror stories and the requisite Lake George comparisons... They did bring up some of the boat accidents on other lakes, however none of those lakes have a 150' Safe Passage law. The opponents of the petition (myself included) presented the simple fact that while boat registrations are up yet again, accidents are down. Out of the 102,000 registered boats in the state there was only one speed related accident... the Bass boat that flipped over on Ossipee Lake. To paraphrase Ben Franklin... those that would give up liberty for safety deserve neither.... Woodsy

APS, Equivilant sized lake with no speed limit or not it isn't relevant since the speed limit folks are now focused ONLY on Winnipesaukee and are claiming Winni is frightening and dangerous.
There is nothing backing up their argument except their own fear, wish to eliminate a class of boat from the lake and desire to turn back the clock to the days when the classic wooden boat was king. Unless I misunderstand the following rule, the Commissioner of Public Safety already regulates the types of activities that you bring up and can deny the permit and/or require the folks to take special precaution. Quote:
For anyone who might not know what we are writing about. The was an accident that left 5 people dead during a Poker Run on an Oklahoma lake over Labor Day weekend. The link to the AP story via Boston dot Com is here: http://www.boston.com/news/nation/ar...ake_killing_5/ Skip: Does the administrative rule give a time frame for the commissioner to make his recommendation to the legislative committee? |

There is much latitude to allow the entity making the proposal to extend the public hearing deadline, add additional public hearings and add additional time to the public comment process. In addition, if the members of the JLCAR so choose, they can hold additional public hearing and public comment periods while ammending the proposed rule! In a nutshell, if the Commissioner does choose to go forward with a proposal the final adoption could stretch out in excess of six months. If the Commissioner chooses not to go forward with a proposal I would suspect we would know those intentions within 30 to 60 days. Like any piece of legislation that works it way through the halls of Concord, the process can become very complicated and highly convoluted with time. I suspect the good folks in the local media covering this current proposal will keep us abreast of the situation as it develops! ![]() Skip |

Here we go again.. Ive lived on Winni for 40 years ! I think we can all agree that there are some problem areas on the weekends.. Lets have a speed limit in these areas, perhaps more expanded no wake zones like we have had the past couple years.. From where im sitting the biggest problem is lack of education.. To me anyone who does not know the right of way laws or know who the stand on or stand down boat is doesnt belong out there ..and there are plenty of them ! How about a 10,000 LB limit .. the big cruisers are the worst wave makers and law breakers ..Too big to slow down or give way ..WRONG !
I have to laugh when I go out in the boat after labor day.. There is noone out there ! I would also suggest that the non voting proponents worry about making laws at home , not were they visit for 20 days each year ! |
