STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand
AN ACT relative to the sale of state-owned property in the towns of Belmont and Laconia.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
137:1 Sale of State Land. The general court recognizes that continued retention of land acquired in 1988 between Route 3 in the city of Laconia and Route 3 in the town of Belmont is no longer judged to be essential for either future highway construction or general public benefit. Therefore the general court authorizes the sale of the land in accordance with the provisions of RSA 4:40.
137:2 Repeal. 1988, 243, relative to retaining certain state-owned land overlooking Lake Winnesquam, is repealed.
137:3 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
(Approved: May 15, 2000)
(Effective Date: July 14, 2000)

HB 1357-FN - FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT relative to the sale of state-owned property in the towns of Belmont and Laconia.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Transportation indicates this bill will have an indeterminable increase on state revenue in FY 2000 and county and local revenue in FY 2000 and each year thereafter. There is no fiscal impact on state, county, and local expenditures.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department states this bill is permissive, authorizing the sale of land taken by eminent domain in 1988.
The Department cannot determine the increase in state revenue because the Department cannot reasonably estimate how much this land will sell for at this time. The increase in county and local revenue also cannot be estimated until the sale of this property, but represents returning this property to private ownership and subject to property tax assessment.
