This bill regulates the use of temporary traffic control personnel. It adds a new subdivision to RSA 236, stating that a city or town can only use local law enforcement officers for temporary traffic control when there are specific safety concerns about the project or if qualified traffic flaggers are not available. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage.

The fiscal impact of this bill is indeterminable. It may alter the revenue accrued from special detail projects and potentially decrease costs for municipally funded projects. The net impact on municipal revenue and expenditures cannot be estimated as it would vary by project. The New Hampshire Municipal Association was contacted regarding this bill.
