This bill establishes a framework for the creation of village districts aimed at protecting and remediating surface water quality. It amends existing law, specifically RSA 52:1, by adding a new responsibility for these districts. The new legal language includes the insertion of a provision that allows for the "protection and remediation of surface water quality within the district," which is designated as item (o). Additionally, the bill modifies the existing list of responsibilities by removing the conjunction "and" from item (m) and the period from item (n), thereby creating a seamless transition to the new item (o).

The bill emphasizes the importance of consistent environmental policies for towns that share bodies of water, promoting collaborative efforts in managing water quality. It is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, allowing for the timely implementation of these new provisions aimed at enhancing environmental protection within village districts.
