STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine
AN ACT requiring the commissioner of resources and economic development and commissioner of safety to retain a consultant to review of the requirements for public safety and quasi-public communications on the summit of Mount Kearsarge.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
1 Study by the Commissioner of Resources and Economic Development and Commissioner of Safety. The commissioner of resources and economic development and commissioner of safety shall retain a qualified, independent consultant to conduct a review of the technical requirements for public safety and quasi-public communications on the summit of Mount Kearsarge and alternatives to the existing 180-foot tower, including facilities on a location other than the current parcel of land where the tower is located. The consultant shall review, study and report to the commissioner of resources and economic development and commissioner of safety on whether communication needs for public health, safety, and emergency services can be provided with a less obtrusive and smaller tower than the existing 180-foot tower and what the costs and technical requirements would be for alternatives that would assure the same or similar level of service to both public safety officials and the general public. The department of resources and economic development and the department of safety shall make transfers, pursuant to RSA 9:16-a, from within their existing budgets sufficient to cover the cost in assisting the commissioners in conducting the review and in hiring the consultant. The commissioner of resources and economic development and commissioner of safety shall report on any findings, including funding needs for any plan of removal or alteration, to the senate president and the speaker of the house on or before November 1, 2001.
2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect upon its passage.
