This bill establishes a committee tasked with studying airport operation hours in New Hampshire. The committee will consist of three members from the House of Representatives, appointed by the Speaker, and one member from the Senate, appointed by the Senate President. Members will receive mileage compensation for their duties. The committee's responsibilities include examining potential noise abatement measures related to airport operation hours and considering the feasibility of prohibiting flights from departing New Hampshire airports between midnight and 6:00 a.m. The study will involve discussions with relevant stakeholders to assess the advantages and disadvantages of such a prohibition.
Additionally, the committee is required to suggest legislation based on the needs identified during the study. The members will elect a chairperson and must hold their first meeting within 45 days of the bill's effective date. A quorum will consist of two members, and the committee is mandated to report its findings and any legislative recommendations by November 1, 2025. The bill will take effect upon passage.
