Vehicle Scale Legislation - HB 1332
HB 1332 has now passed both the House and the Senate. The next step is to get the Governor to sign the legislation. I would ask that all interested parties contact the Governor's Office and stress the importance of HB 1332 to municipalities revenue streams and recycling efforts.
Contact information for the Governor is as follows. Telephone is 271-2121. To email the Governor follow this link and fill out the on line form. http://www4.egov.nh.gov/governor/goveforms/comments.asp
Should the Governor sign the legislation, it would take effect 60 days after his signature. Thanks for the support.
Earl
The language in the legislations follows.
2 Rulemaking; Exemption from Inspection Requirements. Amend RSA 438:8, I (c) to read as follows:
(c) Exemptions from the inspection requirements of RSA 438:14 with respect to weights and measures of such character or size that such inspection would be inappropriate, impracticable, or damaging, to the apparatus in question or from standards listed in RSA 438:8, II and RSA 438:8, III which may cause in the opinion of the commissioner disproportionate cost or undue economic hardship to a public solid waste management district, as defined in RSA 53-B, a public facility, as defined in RSA 149-M:4, or transfer station, as defined in RSA
149-M:4.
3 New Paragraph; Rulemaking; Weighing of Solid Waste. Amend RSA 438:8 by inserting after paragraph III the following new paragraph:
III-a. In the case where solid waste, as defined in RSA 149-M:4, is weighed in a vehicle at a public facility, as defined in RSA 149-M:4, or transfer station, as defined in RSA 149-M:4, and such solid waste weighed is 200 pounds or less per load, paragraphs II and III shall not apply to such weighing devices. For the purposes of this paragraph, such solid waste weighed and collected shall be received only from a person resident in the town or municipality of which that public facility or public transfer station is a part. Such solid waste shall be assessed for 100 percent of the total net weight but such assessment shall not be for less than the minimum amount levied.
4 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
