This bill establishes a framework for the creation of village districts aimed at protecting and remediating surface water quality. It amends existing law by adding a new responsibility for these districts, specifically the protection and remediation of surface water quality, which is denoted as section (o) in the amended RSA 52:1. The bill also modifies the existing list of responsibilities by removing the mention of ambulance services and adding a new conjunction to connect the responsibilities, thereby enhancing clarity in the legal language.

The bill is designed to promote consistent environmental policies among towns that share a body of water, ensuring that they can collaboratively address issues related to surface water quality. The effective date for this act is set for 60 days after its passage, allowing for a timely implementation of these new provisions.
