This bill introduces a new section to RSA 41, specifically section 41:11-e, which prohibits municipalities from banning the use of grounds maintenance and snow and ice removal equipment powered by internal combustion engines. The bill stipulates that local governing bodies cannot prevent individuals from operating such equipment on any property within their jurisdiction. However, it allows for a municipality to prohibit the purchase of snow or ice removal equipment powered by internal combustion engines if a majority of the local citizenry votes in favor of this prohibition.

The bill does not delete any existing legal language but adds new provisions to ensure that the operation of internal combustion engine-powered equipment for maintenance and snow removal is protected from local bans. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
